I'm still trying to figure out the objective referent for 'race,' although I know how others have chosen to use the term.
Again, no expertise here, but I would think some place could be made for Orlando Patterson's The Ordeal of Integration: Progress and Resentment in America's "Racial" Crisis. (Washington, DC: Civitas/Counterpoint, 1997).
Speaking more to the contemporary political dimensions inextricably tied up with with the law, I've found the following to be quite illuminating:
Horne, Gerald. Fire This Time: The Watts Uprisings and the 1960s. (New York: De Capo Press, 1997 ed.).
Marable, Manning. Black American Politics: From the Washington Marches to Jesse Jackson. (London: Verso, 1985).
Marable, Manning. Race, Reform, and Rebellion: The Second Reconstruction in Black America, 1945-1990. (Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi, 1991).
Morris, Aldon D. The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement: Black Communities Organizing for Change. (New York: Free Press, 1984).
Payne, Charles M. I've Got the Light of Freedom: The Organizing Tradition and the Mississippi Freedom Struggle. (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1996).
Sonenhshein, Raphael J. Politics in Black and White: Race and Power in Los Angeles. (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1993).
Wolfenstein, Eugene Victor. The Victims of Democracy: Malcolm X and the Black Revolution. (London: Free Association Books, 1989).
