Dear Friends – Please come out to this conference on April 13th and 14th, 2007 at UCLA School of Law. It will be an opportunity to discuss some of the most critical issues of our time, to discuss Critical Race Theory and where its been and where its going, and to engage with practitioners, [...]
They come through TV, books, radio, internet, iPods, certain manifesting circumstances, and other various sundries. I wonder what there is about this place that makes it so different than that place. And I wonder why the lives we traverse are not so immediately forgiven that when someone picks up and goes, they are [...]
I realize that most of the time when I write on my blog, its about experiences I’ve had and the few peculiarities that make those experiences worth writing about. I read something, usually in English, and comment on it. Something happens to me, or I do something, and I record the result in [...]
Here are the lyrics to Lali Puna’s Crawling by Numbers, a song I just listened to:
You’ll be charged a hundred dollars
if you can’t pay back the debts
Work your soul and work your lifetime
without money you can’t buy
Can’t you see
six feet underground?
Identify the system
Identify the system
Watch your neighbours
and their big dreams
Silent envy on your face
A life [...]
Munnabhai MBBS is arguably one of the funniest Bollywood films I’ve seen. And one of my favorite Bollywood actors, Arshad Warsi, is in it! And no, I haven’t yet seen the new Munna Bhai, but I will!

Janitors win! And I’m wondering what it all comes down to. What does it mean when we say a campaign wins, when the workers are framed in pictures – hands up in jubilation, union leaders clapping still. I am still absorbing this victory and yet, I have my reservations about the US [...]
Last night, after I posted about what happened at UCLA, I got a text from a friend — “Police Brutality against Houston Janitors!” Eyes widened, I took a breath, and propped myself up against a wall.
I am not startled that such brutality spans from UCLA to Houston and back. But I am startled [...]
Police brutality is not exactly abnormal. Its seems to have become part of the normal run of things. It happens often and with regularity. As if the state mandates it. Just as KRS-One put it.
But my severely optimistic head never expects it. I would never expect it at all. And [...]
Its hard to know what to write about when most of what I think about these days is this strange abstraction called the law. Its contours, its restrictions, its normative motions are soaking up most of my time.
So how do I make this bloggable? Have I gotten so deep into this that it [...]
Here in the ridiculous city of quartz, immigration is always at the center of our modern histories. This is THE City of Immigrants. How do I know this? I once talked to someone who lived in a neighborhood that had Brazilians living side by side with Indians and Pakistanis. There’s no [...]
