To paraphrase an old critic of Renan, a nation is a group of people united by a mistaken view about the past, a hatred of their present neighbours, and dangerous illusions about their future

The authors are successful in pointing out that though times and methods have changed, blacks are still forced to live apart from whites. Instances of "cross burnings" are rare in today's society, but other methods have segregation have taken its place. . Before the creation of fair housing practices, banks and home mortgage lenders openly discriminated against black home seekers. In current times, the methods of discrimination still exist, but only in different forms. For example, real estate agents work to keep people living in "color coded" neighborhoods. This is accomplished through lying and methods public pressure. When black home buyers look for a house, they are shown only those in all black or racially mixed neighborhoods. If these people ask about homes in white neighborhoods, they are lied to and given bogus reasons as to why no homes are available. If blacks due succeed in moving into a majority white neighborhood, they generally force whites to move out. The book gives detailed studies on real- estate agents who are openly biased and continue to create racially segregated housing.

Debunking Mexican American Apartheid: A Long, Dark Silence of Law, a Brief Shining Moment of Justice

Review of Michael A. Olivas, ed., “Colored Men” and “Hombres Aquí:” Hernández v. Texas and the Rise of Mexican American Lawyering. The focus is on an unlikely civil-rights case, Hernández v. Texas, involving a drunken barroom brawl and a club-footed murder suspect, which in 1954 became the first ever tried by Mexican American lawyers before the U.S. Supreme Court, and the first to open up for persons of Latin American ancestry the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
