- Description
- This article investigates how courtrooms and legal processes recognize, react to, and thereby create 'cultural' information. Drawing on contemporary Canadian examples and the US experience with 'cultural defences' to criminal charges, the author considers not so much how courts should react to cultural practices but rather the problems with the way we identify these practices in the first place. This 'identification' process is often a form of cultural racism and is sometimes masked as an effort at cultural sensitivity. Not only is cultural information incompletely collected and imperfectly understood, it also tends to be considered only against the unarticulated, unexamined norm of North American mainstream culture. egal institutions produce distorted views of 'Other' cultures as well as an intriguing shadow picture of mainstream culture-both of which reveal a deeply held belief in the mainstream tradition's superiority. This process can be particularly harmful for women from non-mainstream cultures. Not only does it construct their own cultural traditions as being dangerously misogynist, it also refuses to recognize those elements of mainstream culture that subordinate and endanger women. The conclusion considers the range and complexity of the challenges that judges, litigators, litigants, and communities face in trying to avoid a simplistic approach to culture, stressing the need for more careful approaches to cultural sensitivity training in judicial education and litigation strategy.

- Description
- Descriptive history of the first black woman executed in North Carolina in the twentieth century. Anthropological and criminological discussions of Negro primitivism and gender parity are offered as viable explanations for the paucity of literature that specifically focuses on the manner in which violent black females have been socially constructed as to legitimize their oftentimes harsh punishments in the historic southern justice system.
