A book review examines whether or not the SOLE black justice on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas, uses skin color a character definition of those seeking appeals.

In Tahlequah, American-Indian graduate students told to leave their culture at home.

A scholarly debate about biological vs. socially contrusted race. Many say that we are all one race: the human race (biologically speaking), yet the various classifications, and therefore marginalizations, are concocted through power.
