INTRODUCTION: THE LAWS OF RACE, ETHNICITY AND LAW

Mathieu Deflem

Even in the most recent era of our modern world, which has on more than one occasion been idealistically described as post-racial or multi-cultural, it is clear that race and ethnicity remain important markers of our daily lives and, additionally, provide a critical demarcation upon which both structural possibilities as well as inequities are built. It is all the more remarkable that racial and ethnic injustices continue to exist precisely in the area of law, the regulatory environment which we all too routinely associate with fairness, equality, and justice. One of the central sociological ironies of law, in other words, is and remains that equality before the law exists primarily as a construct of law itself, while law is unable to provide always for such equality as an accomplished sociologically observable reality, least of all in terms of race and ethnicity. Simply put, equality before the law does not accurately describe the actual workings of law (), least of all for underrepresented and historically oppressed groups.
