Overview and Conclusions IndexReviews'This is a remarkable book, and essential reading for anyone who cares about how civil rights are defined and protected in America. It carefully situates the Supreme Court in its political and historical environment, and in doing so serves as an important reminder of the significance of politics in keeping our constitutional system functioning.' -- Keith E. Whittington, Princeton University, US 'Juxtaposing a comprehensive survey of the Supreme Court's cases dealing with racial minorities - African Americans, Indians, Asian Americans, and Hispanic Americans - to an overview of how Congress and the President dealt with those minorities, Leslie Goldstein asks the right question: Compared to the other branches, how protective has the Court been? This is an important work for scholars and others interested in the Supreme Court and the history of race in the United States.' -- Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School, US 'This is a remarkable book, and essential reading for anyone who cares about how civil rights are defined and protected in America.
