 ll was best known as law school professor and founder of Critical Race The
 ory\, but far from writing law review analyses\, the majority of his work 
 -- including Faces at the Bottom of the Well\, And We Are Not Saved\, Af
 rolantica Legacies\, and Gospel Choirs is best characterized as a blend o
 f legal argumentation and speculative fiction. The range of speculative tr
 opes that Bell utilized was extensive\, including sudden unexplained disap
 pearances of people\, world-altering mists\, alien encounter\, terra incog
 nita\, and time travel\, among others. Far from being just an imaginative 
 vehicle for legal analyses\, these stories rethink the speculative imagina
 tion of law. This talk argues that Bell uses science fiction to illuminate
  the racialization of legal space-times and to critique the adequacy of ra
 cial equality as a horizon for change and struggle.\n\n\n\n \n\n\nhttps:/
