Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

More than forty years after Brown v. Board of Education put an end to segregation of the races by law, current debates about affirmative action, multiculturalism, and racial hate speech reveal persistent uncertainty about the meaning of race in American culture and the role of law in guaranteeing racial equality. This book takes the continuing controversy about race as an invitation to revisit Brown. The essays collected here are diverse in their perspectives and lively in their presentation. Taken togther, they provide a fresh look at Brown as well as the way it is implicated in America's contemporary uncertainties about race.

More than forty years after Brown v. Board of Education put an end to the segregation of the races by law, current debates about affirmative action, multiculturalism, and racial hate speech reveal persistent uncertainty about the place and meaning of race in American culture and the role of law in guaranteeing racial equality. Moreover, all sides in those debates claim to be the true heirs to Brown, even as they disagree vehemently about its meaning.
This book takes the continuing controversy about race in law and culture as an invitation to revisit Brown, and uses Brown as a lens through which to view that controversy and the issues involved in it. The essays collected here describe the contested legacy of Brown as well as the way it is implicated in America's persistent uncertainties about race. In so doing they confront crucial questions about race, law, and culture in contemporary America. Taken together, they provide a fresh look at Brown in a lively, diverse way.
'This book contains nine essays on the historic Brown case, in which the Supreme Court, in 1954, declared segregation in schools based on race to be unconstitutional...Essays in this volume reflect...conflicting opinions about the nature of race in contemporary Anerica.'
