Although slavery was illegal at the beginning of the twentieth century, segregation was prevalent, especially in the South. Through many uprisings, protests, and demonstrations, segregation was finally abolished and civil rights were established for people of varying colors, races, and genders. Today, we celebrate diversity in our nation because of the Civil Rights Movement of the twentieth century.

Representing the Race tells the story of an enduring paradox of American race relations, through the prism of a collective biography of African American lawyers who worked in the era of segregation. Practicing the law and seeking justice for diverse clients, they confronted a tension between their racial identity as black men and women and their professional identity as lawyers. Both blacks and whites demanded that these attorneys stand apart from their racial community as members of the legal fraternity. Yet, at the same time, they were expected to be "authentic"-that is, in sympathy with the black masses. This conundrum, as Kenneth W. Mack shows, continues to reverberate through American politics today.Mack reorients what we thought we knew about famous figures such as Thurgood Marshall, who rose to prominence by convincing local blacks and prominent whites that he was-as nearly as possible-one of them. But he also introduces a little-known cast of characters to the American racial narrative. These include Loren Miller, the biracial Los Angeles lawyer who, after learning in college that he was black, became a Marxist critic of his fellow black attorneys and ultimately a leading civil rights advocate; and Pauli Murray, a black woman who seemed neither black nor white, neither man nor woman, who helped invent sex discrimination as a category of law. The stories of these lawyers pose the unsettling question: what, ultimately, does it mean to "represent" a minority group in the give-and-take of American law and politics?

After the passage of sweeping civil rights and voting rights legislation in 1964 and 1965, the civil rights movement stood poised to build on considerable momentum. In a famous speech at Howard University in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that victory in the next battle for civil rights would be measured in ""equal results"" rather than equal rights and opportunities. It seemed that for a brief moment the White House and champions of racial equality shared the same objectives and priorities. Finding common ground proved elusive, however, in a climate of growing social and political

Over the last several years, the traditional narrative of the civil rights movement as largely a southern phenomenon, organized primarily by male leaders, that roughly began with the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and ended with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has been complicated by studies that root the movement in smaller communities across the country. These local movements had varying agendas and organizational development, geared to the particular circumstances, resources, and regions in which they operated. Local civil rights activists frequently worked in tandem with the national civil rig

Peu de figures universellement célébrées sont aussi mal connues que Martin Luther King Jr. La lutte pour les droits civiques et l’égalité des Noirs dont le pasteur baptiste prit la tête est remémorée comme un appel à la fraternité et à l’unité nationale que l’Amérique sut entendre. Ce récit édifiant a considérablement aseptisé la force révolutionnaire de sa pensée et la brutalité de l’oppression contre laquelle il s’insurgeait. Qui se souvient qu’à peine un an après avoir reçu le prix Nobel de la paix, King déclara que son rêve était devenu un cauchemar en raison de l’enracinement du système d’exploitation capitaliste ? La fin de la ségrégation institutionnelle en 1964 n’était à ses yeux qu’une étape. L’ultime phase de son combat, qui culmina avec la « Campagne des pauvres » et que son assassinat en 1968 laissa inachevée, fut quasiment effacée de la mémoire des États-Unis et avec elle le sens profond de son engagement. Penseur de la justice sociale, Martin Luther King opéra une extraordinaire synthèse entre christianisme, liturgie noire, non-violence, désobéissance civile et marxisme. C’est ce penseur avant-gardiste et radical à la postérité édulcorée que cet ouvrage entend faire redécouvrir en l’inscrivant dans une tradition de dissidence américaine trop souvent ignorée.
