　　Sweeping and important.... Provides a fascinating vision of

justice and history. --The Washington Post Book World

From the head of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission comes a

landmark study of the ways in which prejudice has shaped American

justice from the Civil War era to the present. With an ear tuned to

the social subtext of every judicial decision, Mary Frances Berry

examines a century's worth of appellate cases, ranging from a

nineteenth-century Alabama case in which a white woman was denied

her divorce petition because an affair between a white man (her

husband) and a black woman (his lover) was "of no c***equence," to

such recent, high-profile cases as the William Kennedy Smith and

O.J. Simpson trials. By turns shocking, moving, ironic, and tragic,

each tale ends in the laying down of law. And because the law

perpetuates myths of race, gender, and class, they are stories that

affect the lives of us all.
