Description

Andre Brink is Professor of English at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. His novels, including A Dry White Season, Instant in the Wind, An Act of Terror, and Imaginings of Sand, have been published in twenty-nine languages.

"A novel in which two 'intellectuals of color'--the narrator, a middle-aged law professor, and his protege, Rodrigo Crenshaw--sit down and hash out the issues of our time. . . Intellectually exuberant"-"Los Angeles Times", "A probing, thoughtful explication of the unexamined myths and assumptions that condition so many current U.S. public policy debates."-"Booklist", "An excellent starting place for the national discussion about race we so desperately need."-"The Washington Post Book World", "Richard Delgado is a triple pioneer. He was the first to question free speech ideology; he and a few others invented Critical Race Theory, and he is both a theorist and an exemplar of the importance of story-telling to the workings of the law. This volume brings all of Delgado's strengths together in a stunning performance."-Stanley Fish, author of "There's No Such Thing as Free Speech; and It's a Good Thing, Too"
