Even for those challenging its constitutional authority, the language of color-blindness sets the terms of debate. Critics of color-blind constitutionalism are in this sense captured by the object of their critique. And yet, paradoxically, to enact a color-blind rule actually requires a heightened awareness of race. As such, color-blind constitutionalism represents a particular form of racial consciousness rather than an alternative to it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChallenging familiar understandings of race, rights, and American law, \u003cem\u003e Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional?\u003c\/em\u003e explores how current equal protection law renders the pursuit of racial equality constitutionally suspect. Identifying hierarchy rather than equality as an enduring constitutional norm, the book demonstrates how the pursuit of racial equality, historically, has been viewed as a violation of white rights. Arguing against conservative and liberal redemption narratives, both of which imagine racial equality as the perfection of American democracy, \u003cem\u003e Is Racial Equality Unconstitutional? \u003c\/em\u003ecalls instead for a break from the current constitutional order, that it may be re-founded upon principles of racial democracy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark Golub\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Politics and Director of the Legal Studies Program at Scripps College, Claremont, CA.
