Gonzalez, Beyond Eco-Imperialism The film begins with ... a scene in which a newly wed couple Susan and Vargas is in the process of crossing [from Mexico] to the U.S. for their honeymoon. As Vargas, a "Mexican" detective played by Charlton Heston, approaches his lips to the lips of the Anglo-American wife Susan, played by Janet Leigh, this act coincides with a dramatic explosion ... The juxtaposition of the image of the kiss between the Mexican male and the Anglo female with the explosion in the background recreates for the audience the hysteria projected on to the media by the McCarthyism of the 1950s, and its biological obsession with the danger of infection of the "American" body.

9 Recognizing Race in the American Legal Canon

It started in a class called Con Law II, in which I understood that we were to study primarily the Bill of Rights. Coming into the course, I already had a vague idea about what some of those rights might be-certainly I felt favorably disposed toward them. But my overall grasp was, to put it charitably, weak. I did recall that we had discussed at length something called "due process" in our civil procedure class the year before, in the context of learning about the constitutional rights of certain corporations to resist defending themselves in unfavorable jurisdictions. From those discussions I had at least come away with a strong though unanchored sensation that due process was a big deal-widely influential, and guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Still, my knowledge was spotty. That second year, in Con Law II, however, I learned with more clarity-I believe as a brief foundation for our taking up the incorporation doctrine-that due process was specifically a feature of the Fourteenth Amendment. As the semester wore on, I could see that this amendment was indeed a powerful thing, even beyond due process. It had sweepingly restructured the reach of the Bill of Rights, and it seemed to crop up repeatedly in an amazing range of constitutional controversies. Particularly remarkable to me was the fact-briefly noted in passing in our casebook and in class discussion-that the amendment had been proposed and ratified just after the Civil War as part of the Reconstruc-238

Constructing Citizenship Without a Licence: The Struggle of Undocumented Immigrants in the USA for Livelihoods and Recognition

Focused on a legislative campaign that won access to a state-issued driver's licence for undocumented migrants in Tennessee in spring 2001, the article explores some of the tensions that emerged on the road to this unlikely victory and raises questions for the…

Stirring the Ashes: Race Class and the Future of Civil Rights Scholarship

Many of the authors cited in the footnotes below also have my gratitude and respect. The intellectual debt to two writers in particular, Derrick Bell and Alan Freeman, will no doubt be apparent, but is great enough that a careful reading of this piece would probably generate a storm of additional footnotes to each of them. It goes without saying that the politics and errors of this paper are my own.

Case studies in the book are written by leading scholars from both the global South and the global North, and combine empirical research on the ground with innovative sociolegal theory to shed new light on a wide array of topics. Among the issues examined are the role of law and politics in the World Social Forum; the struggle of the antisweatshop movement for the protection of international labour rights; and the challenge to neoliberal globalization and liberal human rights raised by grassroots movements in India and indigenous peoples around the world. These and other cases, the editors argue, signal the emergence of a subaltern cosmopolitan law and politics that calls for new social and legal theories capable of capturing the potential and tensions of counter-hegemonic globalization.
