Abstract
I argue at the beginning of this Essay that Professor Yamamoto's claim that there exists a divide of chasmic proportions between progressive race theory and legal and political practice asserts too much. Nevertheless, my view of the relationship between theory and practice leads me to suggest that the guidelines he proposes for critical race praxis should be applied to progressive race theory. The tensions he describes in contemporary civil rights litigation exist in, though they do not derive from, progressive race theory.
