Race in the Jury Box
Race in the Jury Box focuses on the racially unrepresentative jury as one of the remaining barriers to racial equality and a recurring source of controversy in American life. Because members of minority groups remain underrepresented on juries, various communities have tried race-conscious jury selection, termed \"affirmative jury selection.\" The authors argue that affirmative jury selection can insure fairness, verdict legitimization, and public confidence in the justice system. This book offers a critical analysis and systematic examination of possible applications of race-based jury selection, examining the public perception of these measures and their constitutionality. The authors make use of court cases, their own experiences as jury consultants, and jury research, as well as statistical surveys and analysis. The work concludes with the presentation of four strategies for affirmative jury selection.

EUGENE “BEAR” LINCOLN AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN JURY
From the early sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, the jury de medietate linguae had been both recognized and tried in northeastern America. Over these more than three centuries, one consistent feature of the trial de medietate was that most of the criminal trials involved racial minority defendants; and perceived fairness of the jury verdicts was considered to be an important element for maintaining peace in the local community. Not surprisingly, a large number of the trial demedietate involved Native American defendants, strong animosity, fear, and racial hostility against the American Indians remaining a powerful force within

SHORTCOMINGS OF PROCEDURALLY BASED REMEDIES
Current laws guiding jury selection offer no affirmative mechanisms or procedural remedies to ensure the presence of members of diverse racial and social groups in the final jury. This chapter thus attempts to demonstrate that affirmative action strategies are the only viable alternative for securing such diversity in the trial jury.
By focusing our lens on all stages of the jury selection process, we hope to illustrate that the traditional, non-affirmative jury selection system handed down from the past fails to produce a heterogeneous final jury. To do this, we will show that current procedural remedies, as well as non-affirmative

DEFINING AND MEASURING RACE AND RACIAL IDENTITY
Race and racial identity are both real and illusionary—real because our society designates certain identities as racial ones, illusionary because there is only one human race. Dealing with such social definitions of race is often mind boggling because historically supposed racial differences have become culturally infused as a way of thinking and reasoning, as well as institutionalized in the social and political domain.
How, then, does one cut through the veil of race, exposing and offsetting the idea that there are different races—when most individuals in a given social milieu identify racially and have their beliefs confirmed by
