{"product_id":"9780883781999","title":"Afrolantica Legacies","description":"\u003cp\u003eDerrick Bell is perhaps best known for the principled stand he took at Harvard in 1990 when he quit his tenured position on the law-school faculty to protest the school's failure to grant tenure to a black woman. Now a visiting professor at New York Law School, Bell is still deeply interested in issues of race relations and has chosen to explore the subject fictionally in \"Afrolantica Legacies.\" In a nutshell, the story goes like this: a mysterious land mass suddenly appears in the Atlantic Ocean, a fabulous island on which only black people can survive. American blacks set sail to the island to begin a new life, only to see it sink again before they can reach the shore. On the return trip to America, the passengers draw up a list of principles called the Afrolantica Legacies, defining how they want to reposition themselves in American society. The book uses a fictional setting to outline some remedies for the problem of race relations between African Americans and white people in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Third World Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022729429232,"sku":"9780883781999","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780883781999_p0.jpg?v=1763849091","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780883781999","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
