This comprehensive book delves into a detailed analysis of Supreme Court judgments that have significantly impacted the rights of minorities in the realm of higher education, thereby shedding light on the ongoing issues of racial discrimination within the American education sector. In Race, Law, and Higher Education in the Colorblind Era, the author brings together a multitude of racial disputes that have been adjudicated by the Supreme Court to explore the politics of colorblindness in the post-civil rights era. By examining these cases as a form of ongoing racial discourse, the book focuses on the ways in which racial disputes operate within a narrative that perpetuates colorblindness, thereby invalidating racial justice for minorities. Through a historical examination of how the Supreme Court has understood racism and the concept of race, this volume demonstrates how colleges and universities must navigate the often contradictory and perilous landscape of 'diversity' in their efforts to integrate historically disadvantaged minorities. This book is of immense interest to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students specializing in the fields of sociology of education, multicultural education, and legal education.
