Description: "Richard Delgado, one of the founding figures in the Critical Race Theory movement, continues the popular and thought-provoking Rodrigo Chronicles with his latest book. Justice at War features Rodrigo, a brash, talented lawyer of color; "the Professor," his mentor and straight man; the two women in their lives, Giannina and Teresa; and Laz, Rodrigo's conservative faculty colleague.

Employing the narrative device he and other Critical Race theorists made famous, Delgado assembles a cast of characters to discuss such urgent and timely topics as race, terrorism, hate speech, interracial relationships, freedom of speech, and new theories on civil rights stemming from the most recent war."--BOOK JACKET.
