57. Rights held hostage: race, ideology and the peremptory challenge.

Author

Nunn, Kenneth B.

Subjects
Peremptory challenges -- Social aspects, Discrimination in criminal justice administration -- Laws, regulations and rules, Race discrimination -- Remedies
Abstract

The prohibition of racially discriminatory peremptory challenges, whether used to eliminate black jurors or white jurors, does not remedy the systemic race discrimination in the criminal justice system because it does nothing to filter out the prejudices of an all-white jury hearing charges against or on behalf of blacks. Verdicts in cases involving racism or racial issues are not reliable until race-conscious remedies favoring the selection of some black jurors in such cases are adopted. The race-neutral peremptory challenge laws frustrate the right to a representative jury and a fair trial.

63. "Essentially Black": Legal Theory and the Morality of Conscious Racial Identity.

Author

Nunn, Kenneth B.

Abstract

In philosophy, essentialism involves the claim that everything that exists has a fundamental character or core set of features that makes it what it is. Although this idea developed out of Platonic notions of ideal forms, it has spread beyond philosophy into the social sciences and hard scientific disciplines like mathematics and biology. Since the advent of postmodernism, discussions around essentialism have become controversial. Adherents of postmodern theory argue that social categories, such as gender, race, and sexuality are socially constructed and that essentialist notions of identity, which suggest that identity is static, natural, and unchanging, are theoretically wrong. This postmodern perspective has engendered a significant and often contentious debate on the value of essentialist thought in contemporary identity movements focused on gender, sexuality, and race. In the context of these debates, essentialism has taken on a pejorative character and a negative moral connotation, especially among progressives and left-leaning social activists. The consequences of this moral condemnation are far-reaching. It makes it difficult for identity groups to organize around any social category deemed to be essentialist. This morally-grounded prohibition is especially problematic for Black nationalists and African-centered activists. In this Article, I examine the anti-essentialism critique that has developed in Critical Race and LatCrit legal theory. I argue that the antiessentialism critique offered by critical theorists is misguided insofar as it claims that the assertion of a conscious racial identity is morally wrong. In reaching this conclusion, I first point out some contradictions and failings in the reasoning underlying the critique. Next, I detail some of the difficulties that adherence to anti-essentialism creates for Black communities and activists. Finally, I link normative approaches to essentialism to culture and worldview. I argue that antiessentialism is Eurocentric and its claim to a universal moral prohibition against race-consciousness is false. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

76. A multivariate analysis of the cross-hedging performance of T-bond and GNMA futures markets

Abstract

Increasing interest rates and their overall volatility have made hedging in financial futures markets a common practice for holders of municipal bonds and corporate papers. When hedging, an investor must determine the number of futures contracts needed to cross-hedge for his spot position, and the likelihood of various futures contracts to offset spot market security volatility. An analysis of the performance of U.S. Treasury bonds and Government National Mortgage Association certificates on the Chicago Board of Trade, using the portfolio approach to assess such investments' ability as hedging instruments, indicates that the portfolio approach is, in practice, as reliable as the price-sensitive approach to evaluating hedging positions and cross-hedge ratios.
