Confronting Deep Strictures: Robinson, Rickey, and Racism

Authors

Aviam Soifer, Boston University School of Law

Abstract

A strange and wonderful major league event in 1947 altered baseball and, perhaps, the consciousness of America. Viewed from a Critical Legal Studies perspective, however, that event-the integration of the National League by Jackie Robinson-is both more and less significant than it might otherwise seem. In this essay, Professor Soifer explains why.
