Abstract
Part of a symposium issue on legal scholarship this article addresses a question many have asked in the wake of my Imperial Scholar article in the Pennsylvania Law Review namely do scholars of color behave in much the same way the imperial white scholars do that is citing each other and taking little note of writing by authors on the other side of the color line I find that the answer is in a word no minority scholars writing about race and civil rights cite white and nonwhite authors in numbers roughly proportionate to their representation in the relevant bodies of scholarship
