Routledge Race in the Shadow of Law - Routledge Academic Book

Race in the Shadow of Law provides a critical legal analysis of how European systems respond to institutional racism. This book examines the links between modern legal practices and colonial systems of thought. It explores the reality that many people of colour experience the law as a source of racial problems rather than a way to solve racial injustice. Using critical legal ethnography focused on anti-racism work in Europe, the text places Black and anti-racist perspectives at the center of the discussion. With a specific focus on the German context, this work helps readers understand the intersection of race and law through a unique lens. It is an essential resource for those studying legal, social, and medical sciences within a contemporary European framework.
