Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution is a 2022 nonfiction legal commentary by Elie Mystal, a justice correspondent for The Nation and a lawyer known for sharply critical public analysis of the U.S. courts. The book is not a conventional constitutional law textbook. Instead, it is a polemical, accessible guide that argues the Constitution should be read with clear attention to its racial and gender exclusions, its slaveholding origins, and the way modern conservative legal thought often uses it to limit civil rights. Mystal writes for general readers rather than legal specialists, combining humor, plain language, and forceful opinion to explain concepts like constitutional interpretation, substantive due process, and judicial power. The purpose is both educational and argumentative: to show how constitutional law affects everyday life and why judicial appointments, court decisions, and political participation matter for protecting rights.
