“A Light Inside: An Oddyssey Of Art, Life And Law” (2013)
The first Asian woman tenured at Harvard Law School, a Guggenheim Fellow, a Herbert Jacob Prize Winner, and selected as one of the Best Lawyers Under 40 by the NAPABA, Jeannie Suk tells her heartfelt story. By sharing her old love for ballet, piano, and reading, she guides us to her passionate life and work and finally to the world "that she wanted to see." She decided to write this book because she was frequently asked to explain the connection between how she grew up and how she works and lives now. What world do we want to see? What is "education" in its true sense? What is "life" where one paves one’s own path? Through this clean and elegant memoir, we learn that one’s attitude and passion is the most important thing in life, and she suggests that we should be brave as we have freedom to be imperfect. Also she tells about her disciplines of life and work, one of which is to "find what you really love to do."
“At Home In The Law: How The Domestic Violence Revolution Is Transforming Privacy” (2009)
In the past forty years, the idea of home, which is central to how the law conceives of crime, punishment, and privacy, has changed radically. Legal scholar Jeannie Suk shows how the legitimate goal of legal feminists to protect women from domestic abuse has led to a new and unexpected set of legal practices.
“Postcolonial Paradoxes In French Caribbean Writing: Césaire, Glissant, Condé” (2001)
This book is the first major study of French Caribbean literature in light of postcoloniality. Through readings of Aimé Césaire, Edouard Glissant, Maryse Condé, Baudelaire, Freud, and others, Jeannie Suk illuminates how debates about négritude, antillanité, and creolité contribute to paradoxes at the heart of postcolonial modes.
