Abstract
Uses the biography of a Mexican American federal judge as catalyst to discuss current legal problems facing Latinos Explains the blackwhite binary paradigm of racial discourse and lawmaking the notion that American civil rights proceeds according to a dichotomous structure that marginalizes those falling outside the two main groups blacks and whites Lays out further theoretical and practical consequences for Latinos caught outside the binary and suggests future inquiries for Latino critical scholars
