Stephen L. Carter Biography

Stephen Carter is a renowned interpreter of American culture and debate, having been named one of TIME magazine's fifty leaders of the next century. Stephen has impacted the national conversation on subjects ranging from the role of religion in our politics to the importance of civility in our daily lives as an author, novelist, and columnist for Bloomberg View. Civility is still the defining treatment of how the way we treat one other shapes the society we live in over fifteen years after its publication. Invisible: The Forgotten Story of the Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster, his new book, is a chronicle of his grandmother's remarkable life. Stephen writes about the inspirational story of Eunice Hunton Carter, a smart, ambitious lady who was not afraid to break through boundaries in her book Invisible. She became a major part of the legal team entrusted with breaking up organized crime in New York City after graduating from Smith College and Fordham Law School. She was one of the most well-known black ladies in America by the 1940s. Civility: Manners, Morals and the Etiquette of Democracy delves at the practices that make a community healthier. Self-interest and market-oriented thinking, according to Stephen, have hindered our capacity to conceive of ourselves as a community. We treat each other harshly and term it self-expression because we are obsessed with our own rights and dubious of good manners as restrictions on our uniqueness. The answer, according to Stephen, is many, ranging from rethinking our terminology to refocusing on self-sacrifice as the cornerstone of the community. Professor Carter is Yale University's William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law. He was a law clerk for Thurgood Marshall, a civil rights activist and Supreme Court Justice. He moderates workshops for corporate executives on the importance of values in leadership as a trustee for the Aspen Institute. He is a member of the American Law Institute and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. BackChannel, The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln, Jericho's Falls, Palace Council, and New England White are among his six novels, the first of which, The Emperor of Ocean Park, spent three months on the New York Times bestseller list; the others are Back Channel, The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln, Jericho's Falls, Palace Council, and New England White. He is the author of seven works on law, ethics, and politics, all of which have received critical praise.
