Professor Rose Cuison Villazor Presents “Racially Inadmissible Spouses”
Professor Rose Cuison Villazor presented her paper, “Racially Inadmissible Spouses,” at Suffolk University Law School on January 25, 2010. Her paper conducts a legal historical analysis of how the federal immigration law's racial exclusion of Japanese during World War II restricted the ability of interracial couples to enjoy the rights and privileges of marriage. Portions of the paper will appear as a chapter in a forthcoming book, Loving v. Virginia: Rethinking Race, Sex and Marriage in a “Post-Racial” World, which will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. The presentation was part of Suffolk Law School’s Law and Society Speaker Series.
