Whitelash: Unmasking White Grievance on the Poll Field

If postmortems of the 2016 US presidential election inform us something, it is that many citizens discriminate on the idea of race, which raises an vital query: in a society that outlaws racial discrimination in employment, housing, and jury alternatives, ought to voters be permitted to racially discriminate in choosing a candidate for public workplace? In Whitelash, Terry Smith argues that such racialized decision-making is illegal and that treatments exist to discourage this reactionary conduct. Utilizing proof of race-based voting within the 2016 presidential election, Smith deploys authorized analogies to reveal how courts can decipher when teams of voters have been impermissibly influenced by race, and impose acceptable treatments. This groundbreaking work needs to be learn by anybody eager about how the authorized system can re-direct American democracy away from the continued electoral scourge that many feared 2016 portended.
