Examines LatCrit's emergence as a scholarly and activist community within and beyond the US legal academyEmerging from the US legal academy in 1995, LatCrit theory is a genre of critical outsider jurisprudence—a vital hub of contemporary scholarship that includes Feminist Legal Theory and Critical Race Theory, among other critical schools of legal knowledge. Its basic goals have been: (1) to develop a critical, activist, and inter-disciplinary discourse on law and society affecting Latinas/os/x, and (2) to foster both the development of coalitional theory and practice as well as the accessibility of this knowledge to agents of social and legal transformative change.This slim volume tells the story of LatCrit's growth and influence as a scholarly and activist community. Francisco Valdes and Steven W. Bender offer a living example of how critical outsider academics can organize long-term collective action, both in law and society, that will help those similarly inclined to better organize themselves. Part roadmap, part historical record, and part a path forward, LatCrit: From Critical Legal Theory to Academic Activismshows that with coalition, collaboration, and community, social transformation can take root.

Its opponents call it part of \u0022the lunatic fringe,\u0022 a justification for \u0022black separateness,\u0022 \u0022the most embarrassing trend in American publishing.\u0022 \u0022It\u0022 is Critical Race Theory. But what is Critical Race Theory? How did it develop? Where does it stand now? Where should it go in the future? In this volume, thirty-one CRT scholars present their views on the ideas and methods of CRT, its role in academia and in the culture at large, and its past, present, and future. Critical race theorists assert that both the procedures and the substance of American law are structured to maintain white privilege. The neutrality and objectivity of the law are not just unattainable ideals; they are harmful actions that obscure the law's role in protecting white supremacy. This notion-so obvious to some, so unthinkable to others-has stimulated and divided legal thinking in this country and, increasingly, abroad. The essays in Crossroads, Directions, and a New Critical Race Theory-all original-address this notion in a variety of helpful and exciting ways.They use analysis, personal experience, historical narrative, and many other techniques to explain the importance of looking critically at how race permeates our national consciousness.

La narrativa de los derechos humanos y las instituciones y políticas públicas desarrolladas en su nombre se han extendido en América Latina. Sin embargo, ¿qué tanto esto se traduce en una mejora en la vida de las personas? A través de la investigación que se presenta en este libro nuestra respuesta a tal pregunta es que ello depende del Estado. Específicamente, la investigación que realizamos sobre la relación entre la institucionalización y el disfrute de los derechos humanos en México, Uruguay y Ecuador, confirmó la importancia de las diferencias en los acuerdos estatales en los que se insertan las demandas e instituciones de derechos humanos.Un acuerdo estatal que prioriza la competitividad económica es un sustrato diferente para demandas e instituciones de derechos sociales o indígenas de aquel que priorice la justicia social y la solidaridad entre sus integrantes. Esto porque las demandas de institucionalización de derechos y los mandatos de las instituciones de derechos humanos propiamente dichas antes que proveer directamente "derechos" a las personas forman parte de una configuración de instituciones que conforman al Estado y se dirigen a cambiar la conducta del Estado en general, y de ciertas áreas en particular, para así modificar sus orientaciones y su incidencia en la vida de la gente.Este libro hace una sociología política de la institucionalización de los derechos humanos en América Latina basada en el trabajo de campo y análisis de una variedad de fuentes primarias y secundarias. Mediante el análisis en profundidad de las secuencias de institucionalización de derechos humanos en los tres países, que muestran diferentes niveles de disfrute de derechos, presentamos evidencia acerca de una línea de indagación fructífera para complejizar la literatura sobre disfrute de derechos humanos haciendo un llamado a tomar seriamente al Estado en estas discusiones.
