  Patricia Williams is a lawyer and a professor of commercial law, the great-great-granddaughter of a slave and a white southern lawyer. Her book is both an argument for affirming group claims in the legal vocabulary and a description of the seemingly ineluctable status of black people in the United States today, whether they be professional men and women or the hungry and desperate.
