Excellent- More about Post-Racial Constitutionalism and the Roberts Court: Rhetorical Neutrality and the Perpetuation of Inequality
Post-Racial Constitutionalism and the Roberts Court examines how Chief Justice John Roberts' position of neutrality in his opinions on race has perpetuated inequality. The book shows how the Court has rationalized systemic oppression through neutral rhetoric and the elevation of process-based decisional values, which are rooted in democratic myths of inclusivity and openness. It demonstrates the permanence of racism and the need to reject neutrality to achieve true empowerment and substantive equality.

Post-Racial Constitutionalism and the Roberts Court: Rhetorical Neutrality and the Perpetuation of Inequality is a groundbreaking Critical Race Theory critique of the United States Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts. Since his appointment to the Court in 2005, Chief Justice Roberts has maintained a position of neutrality in his opinions on race. This book dissects neutrality and its role as a unifying feature in all the Court's race jurisprudence, illustrating the consequences of this ostensible impartiality. By examining the Court's racial jurisprudence dating back to the Reconstruction, the book demonstrates how the Court has actively rationalized systemic oppression through neutral rhetoric and the elevation of process-based decisional values, which are rooted in democratic myths of inclusivity and openness. This timely and trenchant book sheds light on the permanence of racism and emphasizes the need to reject neutrality to achieve true empowerment and substantive equality.
