Riassunto

The third edition of Civil Rights Litigation retains the basic organization and many distinctive features of the previous editions, including its broad coverage and diversity of viewpoints. Brooks, Carrasco, and Selmi expose students to many different forms of discrimination, including education, housing, employment, voting, disability, language and ethnicity, police activities, and affirmative action. The book’s opening chapter offers a historic overview of civil rights litigation and raises several recurring themes in civil rights theory, including race versus class, the identity question, civil rights perspectives, and “anti-civil rights” perspectives.

As in the previous editions, cases are presented with a minimum amount of editing to facilitate sophisticated class discussion or role-playing in which students argue the cases in class. Principal changes in the third edition include the usual updating of cases and secondary material as well as the restructuring of sections in several chapters.

A teacher’s manual is available.
