Online Bibliographies: Directed Reading for the Post-Enlightenment Emancipatory Project of the Humanities, Law & Social Sciences

Here is a list of the motley bibliographies to date in our Directed Reading series inaugurated in March of 2008. More than a few of these lists I’ve updated (or in the process of updating) or altered (e.g., there is now a separate list for international criminal law), so if you want the latest version, please e-mail me. Of course I welcome suggestions and comments. Some of the bibliographies were first posted at various law blogs and some are found online at several university and other library sites (e.g., the National Indian Law Library of the Native American Rights Fund). The subtitle might have read: “Idiosyncratic Directed Reading....”
