Reproducing Racism: White Space, Elite Law Schools, and Racial Inequality: White Space, Elite Law Schools, and Racial Inequality

by Wendy Leo Moore

Law schools serve as gateway institutions into one of the most politically powerful social fields: the profession of law. Reproducing Racism is an examination of white privilege and power in two elite United States law schools. Moore examines how racial structures, racialized everyday practices, and racial discourses function in law schools. Utilizing an ethnographic lens, Moore explores the historical construction of elite law schools as institutions that reinforce white privilege and therefore naturalize white political, social, and economic power.

[Jesus Flores · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very similar to how people are treated where I live. Instead of getting judged off the color of their skin, they get judged on the color of their blood. People with red blood are considered to be slaves to the god-like sliver blooded people. Overall, this book is very similar to current times where one group of people are considered better than the other for something they cant control.

Did not finish only because I had to return to the library. Excellent scholarship and interesting premise.
