A Rhodes Scholar, Randall Kennedy teaches classes on contracts, freedom of expression, and the regulation of race relations at Harvard Law School. His first book, Race, Crime, and the Law, received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. His controversial book, Nigger, elucidates the n-word’s plastic, contradictory, and often volatile place in contemporary American society. Interracial Intimacies explores the historical, sociological, legal, and moral issues that are associated with multiracial relationships.
