Event details: Lunch and Learn with CHR@USD
Description
CHR@USD, in collaboration with the departments of Ethnic Studies and Sociology, invites you to attend a “brown bag” lecture series, featuring a book presentation by Roy L. Brooks, Warren Distinguished Professor of Law
With the election of Barack Obama as the first black president of the United States, the issue of racial justice in America occupies center stage. Racial Justice in the Age of Obama (Princeton University Press) provides a new and nonpartisan way of thinking about the problem of race in contemporary American society. The book focuses on African Americans, but its method of analysis and over 100 statistical tables are relevant for other groups, including Latinos, Asians, women, and gays and lesbians.
