A Thousand Times More Fair

Celebrated legal scholar Kenji Yoshino's first book, Covering , was acclaimed—from the New York Times Book Review to O , The Oprah Magazine to the American Lawyer —for its elegant prose, its good humor, and its brilliant insights into civil rights and discrimination law. Now, in A Thousand Times More Fair , Yoshino turns his attention to the question of what makes a fair and just society, and delves deep into a surprising source to answer it: Shakespeare's greatest plays. Through fresh and insightful readings of Measure for Measure , Titus Andronicus , Othello , and others, he addresses the fundamental questions we ask about our world today and elucidates some of the most troubling issues in contemporary life. Enormously creative, engaging, and provocative, A Thousand Times More Fair is an altogether original book about Shakespeare and the law, and an ideal starting point to explore the nature of a just society–and our own.
