The case for Black reparations

The groundbreaking first book on black reparations, essential reading for the twenty-first centuryOriginally published in 1972, Boris Bittker's riveting study of America's debt to African-Americans was well ahead of its time. Published by Toni Morrison when she was an editor, the book came from an unlikely source: Bittker was a white professor of law at Yale University who had long been ambivalent about the idea of reparations. Through his research into the history and theory of reparations-namely the development and enforcement of lawsdesigned to compensate groups for injustices imposed on them-he found that it wasn't a'crazy, far-fetched idea.' In fact, beginning with post-Civil War demands for forty acres and a mule, African-American thinkers have long made the case that compensatory measures are justified not only for the injury of slavery but for the further setbacks of almost a century of Jim Crow laws and forced school and job segregation, measures that effectively blocked African-Americans from enjoying the privledges of citizenship.The publication of important recent books by black scholars like Randall Robinson and the growth of a highly vocal reparations movement in the beginning of this century make this book, long unavailable, essential reading. Bittker carefully illuminates the historical provisions and statutes for legitimate claims to reparations, the national and international precedents for such claims, and most important, the obstacles to a national policy of reparations.

Bittker on the Regulation of Interstate and Foreign Commerce

Boris Bittker, the universally recognized authority on federal taxation, turns his formidable talents with the assistance of Brannon P. Denning to an analysis of interstate and foreign commerce in this important work. With its Lopez ruling in 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court signaled a new era in interpretation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Bittker and Denning respond to the many unanswered questions in the wake of the Lopez decision as well as the dramatic changes surrounding electronic commerce as they cover the full range of commerce topics, including the Federal Export Tax Bank, the Supremacy Clause, the Dormant Commerce Clause, economic protectionism by the states, commerce on the Internet, the Indian Commerce Clause, postal, military, and spending powers, the treaty power, the 21st Amendment, and much more. They also explore and explain the effect of the interpretation of the commerce power on various industries, including aviation, banking and financial services, insurance, and shipping. Their insightful analysis of court decisions illuminates the probable judicial approach to both existing and new legislation. With Bittker on the Regulation of Interstate and Foreign Commerce, the authors supply a valuable analysis of constitutional commerce doctrine.
