Serena Mayeri's \u003ci\u003eReasoning from Race\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explore the development and consequences of this key feminist strategy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMayeri uncovers the history of an often misunderstood connection at the heart of American antidiscrimination law. Her study details how a tumultuous political and legal climate transformed the links between race and sex equality, civil rights and feminism. Battles over employment discrimination, school segregation, reproductive freedom, affirmative action, and constitutional change reveal the promise and peril of reasoning from race--and offer a vivid picture of Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and others who defined feminists' agenda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLooking beneath the surface of Supreme Court opinions to the deliberations of feminist advocates, their opponents, and the legal decision makers who heard--or chose not to hear--their claims, \u003ci\u003eReasoning from Race\u003c\/i\u003e showcases previously hidden struggles that continue to shape the scope and meaning of equality under the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Serena Mayeri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674284305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674284302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Serena Mayeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992269488383,"sku":"9780674284302","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bd510a6-28fd-46f3-ab78-187431bf0619.jpg?v=1683315069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reasoning-from-race-serena-mayeri-9780674284302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
