Abstract

Javier de Lucas’ book Nosotros, que quisimos tanto a Atticus Finch (De las raíces del supremacismo, al Black Lives Matter) is an excellent example of how productive cinema and literature are for teaching and legal research. In line with the analysis presented in that book, here it is proposed to complete it with the discussion of the concept of epistemic injustice, one of whose classic examples is the trial of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird. In this sense, the concept is of interest in the field of law, a relationship that has not yet been overly explored.
