This timely Research Handbook brings together leading legal scholars to explore the relationship between race, racism and the law. It examines how the concepts of race and racial identity are made and influenced by legal orders and institutions, including courts, the administrative state, policing and immigration enforcement.

Chapters present key methodological approaches to investigate the structure of race and racism across both historical and contemporary America. Contributors trace the evolution of racial identity from the earliest moments of constitutional formation to current topical issues, such as indigenous rights, racioreligious professional identities, wage justice, the impact of race on drug control laws and profiling in immigration policing. The Research Handbook sheds light on the bureaucratization and management of race and racism in US law and legal practice, developing new frameworks for research and identifying new areas of study.

The Research Handbook on Law and Race in the US is a valuable resource for legal scholars and students seeking to understand the construction of racial identity. It is particularly relevant to those in the fields of criminal, immigration, labour and US law, as well as critical race studies.
