Multiracials and Civil Rights<\/em><\/a> is a jewel. Relatively brief and always engaging, it presents a well-defined and well-motivated inquiry that simultaneously manages to speak to a much broader issue of deep importance. While legal scholar Tanya Kater\u00ed Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> persuasively answers the immediate question of how multiracial people\u2019s claims of racial discrimination are positioned and adjudicated in U.S. courts<\/a>, she also provides real food for thought about the role of multiraciality in today\u2019s racial order.<\/p>\n

Multiracials and Civil Rights<\/em> draws readers in with a puzzle: why do certain multiracial activists or scholars perceive existing antidiscrimination law as insufficient for their community\u2019s needs? Is it indeed the case that mixed-race people\u2019s claims of discrimination are not being adequately handled in the courts? Drawing on records for all such legal cases in the United States<\/a>, in which an explicitly multiracial person alleged racial discrimination, Hern\u00e1ndez argues persuasively that American courts do just fine by such complainants. If anything, they seem to be particularly solicitous of multiracials, treating their allegations with greater care and deference than those of other racial minorities. So where is the problem? For some multiracial advocates, it appears to lie in the courts\u2019 pretty..<\/p>\n
