Backstory:         To my mind Derrick Bell was a leading legal thinker, social critic, activist, and articulate spokesperson for minority perspectives especially on issues of race and justice.  This book explores and analyzes challenges to authority including his own challenge to Harvard that cost him his teaching position there. He offers stories of others who challenge: Paul Robeson, Daniel Ellsberg, and Fanny Lou Hamer. A rare opportunity to own this important book, signed by Bell.  I could find no other signed copies. Gift quality.
