Racial Justice and the Limits of Law Summary

Racial Justice and the Limits of Law by Bharat Malkani (Cardiff University)

Racial justice is never far from the headlines. The Windrush scandal, the toppling of the statue of Edward Colston, and racism within the police have all recently captured the publics attention and generated legal action. But, although the ideals of the legal system such as fairness and equality seem allied to the struggle for racial justice, all too often campaigners have been let down by the system. This book examines laws troubled relationship with racial justice. It explains that laws historical role in creating and perpetuating racial injustices continues to stifle its ability to advance the cause of racial justice today. Both a lawyers guide to antiracism, and an antiracists guide to legal action, it unites these perspectives to help both groups understand how to use the law to tackle racial injustices.
