Abstract
In this paper, I critique the manner in which law rationalises Black subordination and white supremacy through its assumption of racial neutrality and ontological equality.4 I seek to postulate the need for a culture of critique within South African jurisprudence and further challenge hegemonic liberal notions of ‘justice’ and the existing ‘reconciliation’ discourse. The calls for a ‘race conscious’ and general jurisprudence shall be advanced through the epistemological paradigm of Critical Race Theory which offers a politicised account of the law through the acknowledgment of the centrality of race in law and through debunking claims of law’s neutrality and objectivity.5
