Race: The Power of an Illusion

We're going to watch a clip from the PBS documentary Race: the Power of an Illusion in Friday's class as we discuss how race is a social construction, especially in the legal sphere. You should read both articles by Law Professor Ian Haney López (White By Law, The Social Construction of Race). You might want to check out other clips from this excellent documentary on the web.

I'm looking forward to multiple comments from students on this topic!
