Читать книгу Negrophobia and Reasonable Racism - Jody David Armour - Страница 8

I presented portions of this book at various workshops, colloquia, and faculty seminars in Colorado, Indiana, Pittsburgh, and at the University of Southern California. I gained much from these workshops, seminars, and colloquia, and thank all those who participated. Parts of the book were also presented at the American Association on Law Schools Conference on Torts and at another AALS Conference on Evidence. I received valuable comments from participants at both conferences.

Outside these organized forums, Phreda Devereaux provided extremely helpful remarks on the chapter on Negrophobia; Frank McClelland offered penetrating comments on the chapter on stereotypes and prejudice; and Martha Chamallas, Jules Lobel, Rhonda Wasserman, and Welsh White read large portions of the manuscript, making many very thoughtful remarks. The discussions of battered women benefited greatly from suggestions by Veronica Hobbs of Advocates for Basic Legal Equality. I am also indebted to Martine Beauman, Rhonda Evans, Dominck Lee, Piyush Seth, and Christopher White for valuable research assistance, and to LuAnn Driscoll, Karen Knochel, Darleen Mocello, Carolyn Rohan, and Barbara Salopek for patient, precise, tireless document processing assistance.

I am also grateful to my editors, Richard Delgado, Niko Pfund, and Jean Stefancic, and to New York University Press. And I am thankful to the following journals for permission to use portions of essays that first appeared in their pages: Stanford Law Review, Race Ipsa Loquitur: Of Reasonable Racists, Intelligent Bayesians, and Involuntary Negrophobes [46 Stan. L. Rev. 781 (1994)]; California Law Review, Stereotypes and Prejudice: Helping Legal Decisionmakers Break the Prejudice Habit [83 Cal. L. Rev. 733 (1995)].
