"Dangerous Curvesremains an engaging and compelling examination of the conflicting demands placed on Latina bodies in the popular imagination." -Magdalena L. Barrera, Camino Real, "This eloquent and moving memoir raises profound questions about law, justice, tradition and community, the path to constructive social change, and not least, how to live a decent life. It is an inspiring story, with many valuable lessons to ponder." -Noam Chomsky, Our culture in this countryincluding the subculture of radical lawyeringis too much influenced by a fast-food approach to social change. Jules Lobel carefully explains that the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and other monumental achievements of social protest movements in the United States came about because protesters, including lawyers, were long-distance runners. Law students and young lawyers in particular are likely to keep this book under their pillows., "Our culture in this country-including the subculture of radical lawyering-is too much influenced by a fast-food approach to social change. Jules Lobel carefully explains that the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and other monumental achievements of social protest movements in the United States came about because protesters, including lawyers, were long-distance runners. Law students and young lawyers in particular are likely to keep this book under their pillows." - Staughton Lynd, author of Living Inside Our Hope: A Steadfast Radical's Thoughts on Rebuilding the Movement, "A vivid illustration. The book makes a valuable contribution to our evolving understanding of the work of cause lawyering and the significance of test case litigation. It stands as a beacon of hope in an era dominated by pessimism about the capacity of law and lawyers to contribute to progressive social change." -American Historical Review, "Our culture in this country-including the subculture of radical lawyering-is too much influenced by a fast-food approach to social change. Jules Lobel carefully explains that the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and other monumental achievements of social protest movements in the United States came about because protesters, including lawyers, were long-distance runners.

Jules Lobel carefully explains that the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and other monumental achievements of social protest movements in the United States came about because protesters, including lawyers, were long-distance runners. Law students and young lawyers in particular are likely to keep this book under their pillows., Success Without Victory is thoughtful and provocative, and I highly recommend it. It is highly readable, includes fascinating stories centered on powerful personalities and the sustained reflection on unilateral presidential war-making powers is timely., "Jules Lobel looks back on a history of litigating an impressive number of lost cases on behalf of important political causes. In this brilliant book, against a moving background of spiritual heritage, family life, and such quintessentially American cultural references as baseball and Vietnam, Lobel ponders these losses. What might have been a dry documentary of cases is, instead, a living, gripping, revelation of real people, their motivations and passions. Books such as Success without Victory tell us the stories of the legally unsuccessful anti-slavery litigation, early women's suffrage cases, workers rights struggles, and challenges to illegal U.S. intervention in Vietnam, Cuba, Central America, and Kosovo, giving us the background we need to understand that, if we can build solid community, we need not despair even when faced with today's horrendous odds." - Margaret Randall, author ofWhen I Look into the Mirror and See You: Women, Terror, and Resistance, "A vivid illustration. The book makes a valuable contribution to our evolving understanding of the work of cause lawyering and the significance of test case litigation. It stands as a beacon of hope in an era dominated by pessimism about the capacity of law and lawyers to contribute to progressive social change." - American Historical Review ,, Success Without Victory is thoughtful and provocative, and I highly recommend it. It is highly readable, includes fascinating stories centered on powerful personalities and the sustained reflection on unilateral presidential war-making powers is timely."-- Law and Politics Book Review "A vivid illustration. The book makes a valuable contribution to our evolving understanding of the work of cause lawyering and the significance of test case litigation. It stands as a beacon of hope in an era dominated by pessimism about the capacity of law and lawyers to contribute to progressive social change."-- American Historical Review "An intriguing cultural analysis."-- Bookwatch "For the author in this compelling book, success and failure are not determined by the immediate outcome of a given case; a lawsuit can be deemed successful if it arises from and gives expression to a valid principle and if it promotes culture of rights."-- Publishers Weekly "Excellent. His work is prophetic and should inspire a new generation to choose law as an alternative to war."-- Federal Lawyer "Remarkable. Jules Lobel takes his rightful place alongside the line of lawyers opting for the difficult path of bringing contentious issues into the public forum."-- New York Law Journal "Lobel provides a lively account of several important but relatively unknown cases. The stories are fascinating and will engage litigators who love the details of brief-writing, the tension of last-minute deadlines, the strategies for oral argument, and the drama of judicial decision-making."-- Trial "This eloquent and moving memoir raises profound questions about law, justice, tradition, and community; the path to constructive social change; and not least, how to live a decent life. It is an inspiring story, with many valuable lessons to ponder."--Noam Chomsky, "A vivid illustration.

A must read for anyone interested in understanding why and under what conditions the slightest tear of a stereotype can be perceived as disruptive of the social fabric." - Frances Negron-Muntaner, author of Boricua Pop: Puerto Ricans and the Latinization of American Culture, ("This compelling study examines the visibility and marketability of Latina actors and characters in tabloids, blogs, "telenovelas," movies, and music... [Molina-Guzman] argues that deviation from prescribed images unsettles mainstream viewers, whose notions of identity/sexuality reject foreign or exotic representations.")-(CHOICE),(), " Success Without Victory is thoughtful and provocative, and I highly recommend it.
