Justice Deferred
Race and the Supreme Court
Orville Vernon Burton • Armand Derfner
“Show[s] with heartbreaking clarity how the Supreme Court
has typically been more a foe than a friend to the pursuit
of racial equality…[An] impressive work.”
—Randall Kennedy, The Nation
A Pattern of Violence
How the Law Classifies Crimes and What It Means for Justice
David Alan Sklansky
“A fresh take on some of the most vexing issues of our times,
including police brutality, mass incarceration, and sexual assault.
David Sklansky’s bold and lucid analysis disrupts the old ways of
understanding how the law deals with race, gender, and crime,
and points to how we can get closer to real justice.”

Degenerations of Democracy
Craig Calhoun • Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar • Charles Taylor

conceptual argument, moral outlook, and political acuity.”

Purchasing Submission
Conditions, Power, and Freedom
Philip Hamburger
“Hamburger has done admirable service excavating and exploring
the ways in which purportedly voluntary concessions are a means of
extending government power and control. If this book does nothing
but enhance our collective vigilance to the danger of purchased
submission, it will have performed an essential service.”
—National Review

Uses of Evidence in Law, Politics, and Everything Else

and ordinary life…Offers both timely and enduring insights.”

Annelien de Dijn
“Ambitious and impressive…At a time when the very survival
of both freedom and democracy seems uncertain, books like
this are more important than ever.”

can claim to be protectors of liberty, yet hold radically different
understandings of its meaning.”
