What exactly is Critical Race Theory? This concise and accessible exploration demystifies an important framework for understanding and fighting racial injustice in the United States. From renowned scholar Dr. VictorRay, On Critical Race Theory seeks to explain the centrality of race in American history and politics, and how theoften mischaracterizedintellectual movementbecame a political necessity. Raydraws upon the radical thinking of giants such as Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr. , Ida B. Wells, and W. E. B. Du Bois to clearlytracethe foundations of Critical Race Theory in Black intellectual traditions of emancipation and the civil rights movement. From these foundations, Dr. Rayexplores the many facets that make up CRT as we know it, from deeply embedded structural racism to the historical connection between Whiteness and property, ownership, and more. In succinct thoughtful essays, Raypresents, analyzes, and breaks down the scholarship and concepts that constitutethis often misconstrued term. He explores how the conversation on CRT has expanded into the contemporary popular conscience underscoring whyCritical Race Theory matters and why we should all care.
