The Rodrigo Chronicles Conversations about America and Race

"Richard Delgado is a triple pioneer. He was the first to question free speech ideology; he and a few others invented Critical Race Theory, and he is both a theorist and an exemplar of the importance of story-telling to the workings of the law. This volume brings all of Delgado's strengths together in a stunning performance." - Stanley Fish,author of There's No Such Thing as Free Speech; and It's a Good Thing, Too "An excellent starting place for the national discussion about race we so desperately need." (The Washington Post Book World) "A probing, thoughtful explication of the unexamined myths and assumptions that condition so many current U.S. public policy debates." (Booklist) "A novel in which two 'intellectuals of color'-the narrator, a middle-aged law professor, and his protege, Rodrigo Crenshaw-sit down and hash out the issues of our time. . . Intellectually exuberant" (Los Angeles Times)
