Unmaddening: A Response to Angela Harris
No full textAngela Harris, in her article Race and Essentialism in Feminist Legal Theory, asserts a theory of multiple consciousness in which Black women are composed of partial, contradictory, or antithetical selves. She defines essentialism as the idea that there is an essential women\u27s experience that can be isolated from other aspects of experience. In this vein, she criticizes the supposed essentialism of Catharine MacKinnon\u27s work. Her argument is that MacKinnon writes from a white perspective, including Black women only in the brackets and footnotes of her analysis. She also accuses MacKinnon of having a nuance theory in which Black women\u27s experience is simply a variation of white women\u27s experience. In MacKinnon\u27s work, according to Harris, Black women become white women plus
Unmaddening: A Response to Angela Harris
No full textAngela Harris, in her article Race and Essentialism in Feminist Legal Theory, asserts a theory of "multiple consciousness" in which Black women are composed of partial, contradictory, or antithetical selves. She defines "essentialism" as the idea that there is an essential women's experience that can be isolated from other aspects of experience. In this vein, she criticizes the supposed "essentialism" of Catharine MacKinnon's work. Her argument is that MacKinnon writes from a white perspective, including Black women only in the brackets and footnotes of her analysis. She also accuses MacKinnon of having a "nuance theory" in which Black women's experience is simply a variation of white women's experience.

In Honor of Angela Harris: Finding Breathing Space, Embracing the Contradictions, and Education Work
Full text linkIn Honor of Angela Harris: Finding Breathing Space, Embracing the Contradictions, and “Education Work,” serves as a tribute to Angela Harris. This essay explores Harris’ concept of education work, the work that people of color in predominantly white settings must do to maintain their own integrity and to help their white colleagues to build inclusive communities. Part I explores this idea of education work and suggests that whites need to undertake part of the load of this work. Education work by whites provides an opportunity to create allies and to work across racial lines. Part II addresses the idea of incorporating mindfulness into legal education. Again, Harris has been a pioneer in this area through her scholarship on reframing legal education. The essay includes breathing exercises in the yoga tradition and concludes with a recipe for chocolate chip cake, recognizing Harris’ and my love of chocolate
Hyper-incarceration as a Multidimensional Attack: Replying to Angela Harris Through The Wire

He extends Harris\u27s analysis of the multidimensionality of identities by means of a case study of how class operates during the drug war era, as depicted in the critically acclaimed HBO drama The Wire

Angela Harris: The Person, the Teacher,the Scholar
Full text linkAngela Harris has written eloquently about the creative tensions that define her as a person, a teacher, and a scholar. She has explored the challenges of maintaining a private identity when called upon to share her life experience with a public audience, whether in the classroom, at a conference, or in an essay. She has reflected on the ways in which legal teaching privileges reason over emotion, wondering whether this dynamic impoverishes the exchange of ideas and undervalues the joy that can motivate a caring advocate. And, she has explored the dialectic between identity politics and the structural forces that entrench inequality. Angela argues that whatever post-modern doubts critical race theorists may harbor about the utility of law in effecting change, they must act as pragmatic modernists who strive to combat injustice. In all of this work, Angela demonstrates the creativity, candor, courage, and compassion that inspire all of us to dedicate ourselves to making a difference.</p

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
