ALCHEMY OF RACE AND RIGHTS Williams, Patricia J.
Harvard University Press 1992 0-674-01471-5 / 9780674014718 Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK Alchemy of Race and Rights ANNOTATION Williams enables us to see how we can unthink the process that allows racism to persist. She presents an eloquent argument for keeping rights and affirmative action in the legal vocabulary--and a powerful description of the seemingly ineluctable status of black people in the United States today. FROM THE PUBLISHER Williams enables us to see how we can unthink the process that allows racism to persist. She presents an eloquent argument for keeping rights and affirmative action in the legal vocabulary--and a powerful description of the seemingly ineluctable status of black people in the United States today. FROM THE CRITICS Kenneth A. Betsalel Reviewed by Kenneth A. Betsalel, University of North Carolina at Asheville Patricia J. Williams has written an important book that should be read by all those seeking to understand subjective ways of knowing the world and the ways in which legal and personal identities are formed. Williams, who now teaches law and women's studies at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, has also taught at Stanford University Law School and the City University of New York. Through the use of anecdotes (which can be considered the book's primary data) and analysis of contemporary events (mostly culled from THE NEW YORK TIMES), this highly personal, almost confessional work portrays Williams' encounters with such pub- lic/private issues (a distinction Williams wants to self- con- sciously blur) as life in the academy, affirmative action, surrogate motherhood, racial violence, and truth telling in academic research. Nearly all of Williams' narratives are linked to her concern with race relations in the United States and the apparent failure of the nation to come to terms with its past. The strength of this book (and what might also be considered its major flaw) revolves around the question of method. Paulo Freire has written in THE PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED that to negate the centrality of subjectivity in human understanding is "naive and simplistic" and is but a vain attempt to deny the importance of people in the making of their own history. The problem with Williams' book is not that she is subjec- tive, but that her subjectivity is occasionally misplaced. By this I mean Williams sometimes uses subjective forms of discourse and evaluation (a epistemology of knowledge that emphasizes personal interpretation and meaning) to make points and win arguments rather than as a method to explore what she fully recognizes is a complex, often paradoxical, even tragic reality. In effect, Williams uses what she at one point refers to as her "subject position" (p.3) to create straw men, dare I say "fic- tions," in order to display her considerable brilliance as a social critic. For example, Williams insufficiently develops evidence to question Stanford University's handling of the Ujaama House incident (a case in which a student maliciously defaced a poster of Beethoven in order to ridicule the idea that Beethoven could possibly have African ancestry) or to claim her colleagues' exams (one of which made use of a hypothetical murder case based on Shakespeare's Othello) were racist and sexist. It is not that Williams is mistaken in her analysis of any given event, only that her description of the event may not be based on an accurate picture of reality. Williams recognizes this problem when she describes how her sister (who is an historian and serves as her alter ego) objects to her fictionalizing identities in order to tell the truth. I would like to quote this passage at length in that it gets at the heart of my criticism of Williams' work. I sit down and write my sister a long letter, including my memo. I tell her how I have fictionalized the identities of people and collapsed several conversations with different colleagues into the mouths of only a few characters. My sister responds with a phone call: she tells me I'm a coward. She thinks I should write up everything Exactly As It Happened and have it publishe
