(1897) established racial segregationin American constitutional law for over fifty years and its moral andpolitical legacy lives on, despite attempts in the United States tocounter its devastating effects during the last half century.Ironically, in the current debate over affirmative action, JusticeHarlan‘s eloquent dissent has been used to justify attacks ongovernment affirmative action programs. In this book, fivedistinguished philosophers and constitutional theorists, working fromvery different theoretical positions, take a fresh critical look atthe moral and political principles underlying this historic decisionand Harlan‘s dissent. They also explore the nature and extent of law‘scomplicity in perpetuating Plessy‘s racialist aims. Emerging fromtheir varied but complementary analyses is a deeper and more nuancedunderstanding of the social injustice of racial segregation in itshistoric and contemporary forms and of resources of the law to reverseit. | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | Geschäftsordnung; constitutional law; justice; morality | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-8977-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4883-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-8977-2 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 1997 |
