The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America
Abstract
gist, it does show how abstract ideas can be employed to explain concrete empirical cases. To do all this in one relatively short book is an accomplishment in its own right. The brevity of the account of each theory does not subtract from the value of the book. On the contrary: even the more advanced reader who is already familiar with some of the discussed theories will find new insights in the connections between theories that are presented. Rojas’s aim is to paint a picture of the sociological landscape at large, and he excels at attaining this goal. One may hope that the book will not only stimulate more theoretically informed research but also additional reflections on the practice of theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
