This new edition of Derrick Bell's groundbreaking textbook \u003ci\u003eRace, Racism, and American Law\u003c\/i\u003e, like prior versions, eschews a traditional casebook format. The locus of analysis in this text is the struggle for racial justice, and its underlying history and political context as reflected in the ongoing contestation over law, legal reform, and transformation. As such the supplement includes but is not limited to Supreme Court cases. We follow Bell's model of locating all edited cases and materials in the supplement, reserving the book's text to provide historical and political context for significant cases or legislative actions, along with hypothetical questions, comments, and other tools of analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessors and students will benefit from: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBoth legal and non-legal primary source material.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeading Cases and Materials\u003c\/i\u003e includes selected historical and contemporary cases, legislation, and other legal materials that foreground the crucial role of race and racism, and the struggle for racial justice, within and through US law. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA carefully selected compilation of United States Supreme Court Cases.\u003c\/b\u003e Each case is chosen to guide readers through elements of US jurisprudence which reflect both reform and retrenchment of societal inequity as it relates to the question of race. Cases range from significant 18th century cases such as \u003ci\u003eJohnson v. McIntosh\u003c\/i\u003e (1823) (indigenous people cannot transfer full title to land) to contemporary civil rights decisions such as\u003ci\u003e Brnovich v.
