Racial Discrimination in Business Transactions
No full textProfessor Suggs argues that set-asides for minority business enterprises are the only practical remedy for business discrimination and therefore need more flexible treatment by the judiciary. In City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co., the Supreme Court set up strict standards for upholding set-asides, assuming that the problem of discrimination could be addressed adequately by laws prohibiting racial discrimination in business transactions. The author challenges this assumption. He considers the record of cases asserting claims of business discrimination and concludes that these cases fail, regardless of merit, because they face insurmountable practical problems of proof. After exploring whether a legislative remedy could be enacted, he finds that the legal and practical obstacles are too great. Therefore, he argues that set-asides should be re-examined as a preventative measure for business discrimination and that the standards imposed by the Court in Croson should be relaxed because they cannot be met even when discrimination is pervasive.
Professor Suggs then compares the complaints of minority firms claiming discrimination in domestic markets to those of American firms claiming exclusion from Japanese markets. American firms urge that the only way to surmount Japanese trade barriers is to extract firm guarantees from Japan that assure American firms a specified share (in substance a set-aside) of Japanese markets. Because these demands would allocate contracts by race, they create the same dangers of racial stereotyping and the politics of racial hostility that the Court feared in Croson. To be justified, they should be required to meet the same strict standards as minority set-asides under Croson. Otherwise, minorities are held to a higher standard than majority firms in an equivalent situation

2019-2020, Tutora: Cristina Alsina Rísquez[eng] Toni Morrison’s Beloved is a novel that gives voice to those thousands of Black women whose stories have often been erased from the history of American slavery and, thus, proves to be not only one of the most relevant works in African-American women’s writing, but also a pivotal piece in contemporary literature. In her novel, Morrison presents the story of Sethe Suggs, a woman who is determined to claim freedom and control over her life in a time and place in which such a thing was not allowed for Black women. This paper will provide an analysis of said character in relation to slavery, motherhood and stereotypical images of African-American women with the purpose of illustrating her subversive nature.[cat] Beloved de l’autora Toni Morrison és una novel·la que dona veu a totes aquelles dones negres que sovint han sigut esborrades de la història de l’esclavitud a Amèrica, demostrant ser així no només una de les obres més importants en l’àmbit de l’escriptura de dones d’ascendència Afro-Americana, sinó també una peça essencial de la literatura contemporània. En aquesta novel·la, Morrison presenta la història de Sethe Suggs, una dona que està decidida a exigir la seva llibertat i el control sobre la seva vida en un moment i un lloc en el qual aquests drets no estaven a l’abast de les dones Afro-Americanes. Amb el propòsit de demostrar la seva naturalesa subversiva, aquest treball presentarà un anàlisis sobre el personatge de la Sethe en relació a l’esclavitud, la maternitat i certes imatges estereotípiques de la dona Afro-Americana
