Subotnik presents a searching critique of contemporary race and gender theory in American law. Analyzing the work of prominent legal scholars such as Lani Guinier, Derrick Bell, and Patricia Williams, he contends that race and gender theorists poison the social and intellectual environment by misinterpreting racial interaction and data and turning white males into victimizers. He goes on to assert that these theorists divert attention from the actual work of implementing America's social justice agenda. Subotnik created and teaches a course in "Contemporary Issues in Race and Gender" at Touro Law School in Huntington, New York. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
