According to Professor Hern\u00e1ndez, these legal scholars who argue that anti-discrimination law fails to protect their right to racial personal identity equality. Specifically, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gravamen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gravamen<\/a> of their harm is the misrecognition or non-recognition by law and society of a multiracial person\u2019s chosen identity. Professor Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s book provides an opportunity to consider the extent and degree to which the multiracial identity movement undercuts, not only the right of multiracial individuals to seek legal remedies for race discrimination in various aspects of their lives, but more importantly, the larger project, namely the dismantling of an American hierarchy grounded in an ideology of white dominance. This review essay explores the problems with the multiracial legal identity scholars\u2019 arguments and Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s suggestions for remediation.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire essay <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarship.law.stjohns.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1900&amp;context=jcred\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal Identity Equality and Racial Misrecognition: Review Essay of Multiracials and Civil Rights: Mixed-Race Stories of Discrimination Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development Volume 34, Issue 1 (Spring 2021) pages 13-37 Taunya Lovell Banks, Jacob A.
