When the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education was handed down in 1954, many civil rights advocates believed that the decision finding public school segregation unconstitutional could become the Holy Grail of racial justice. Fifty years later, despite its legal irrelevance and the racially separate and educationally ineffective state of public schooling for most black children, Brown is still viewed by many as the perfect precedent.

When the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown vs. Board of Education was handed down in 1954, many civil rights advocates believed that the decision finding public school segregation unconstitutional could become the Holy Grail of racial justice. Fifty years later, despite its legal irrelevance and the racially separate and educationally ineffective state of public schooling for most black children, Brown is still viewed by many as the perfect precedent. Derrick Bell here shatters this shining image of one of the Court's most celebrated rulings. He notes that, despite the onerous burdens of segregation, many black schools functioned well and racial bigotry had not rendered blacks a damaged race. Brown's recognition of racial injustice, without more, left racial barriers intact. Given what we now know about the pervasive nature of racism, the Court should have determined-for the first time-to rigorously enforce the equal component of the separate but equal standard. By striking it down, the Court intended both to improve the Nation's international image during the Cold War and offer blacks recognition that segregation was wrong. Instead, the Brown decision actually enraged and energized its opponents. It stirred confusion and conflict into the always vexing question of race in a society that, despite denials and a frustratingly flexible amnesia, owes much of its growth, development, and success, to the ability of those who dominate the society to use race to both control and exploit most people, black and white. Racial policy, Bell maintains, is made through silent covenants-unspoken convergences of interest and involuntary sacrifices of rights-that ensure that policies conform to priorities set by policy-makers. Blacks and whites are the fortuitous winners or losers in these unspoken agreements. The experience with Brown, Bell urges, should teach us that meaningful progress in the quest for racial justice requires more than the assertion of harms. Strategies must recognize and utilize the interest-convergence factors that strongly influence racial policy decisions. In Silent Covenants, Bell condenses more than four decades of thought and action into a powerful and eye-opening book.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: Silent Covenants: Brown V.

Silent Covenants Brown v. Board of Education and the Unfulfilled Hopes for Racial Reform
ISBN: 9780198038559 bzw. 0198038550, in Englisch, Oxford University Press, neu.
This book combines the personal reflections of a civil rights lawyer who personally handled dozens of school desegregation cases with a stunning argument against the perfect precedent of Brown vs Board of Education. Bell argues that an alternative Brown opinion that retained the separate but equal standard, but required its full enforcement, would have been more effective in combating racial discrimination than the decision handed down. Alesson of Brown is that equal educational opportunities for African -Americans were sacrificed to white interests. As a result of these sacrifices- or silent covenants- inequalities continue to haunt the nation. The Brown decision has played an important role in maintaining the racial divide its proponents hoped to close.
