“Critical Race Theory” is consuming conservative America. The
mounting attacks on a once-obscure legal theory are upending public
schooling, legislating censorship, driving elections, and cleaving
communities. In this much-needed response, renowned scholar David
Theo Goldberg cuts to the heart of the claims expressed in these
attacks. He punctures the demonization of Critical Race Theory,
uncovering who is orchestrating it, funding the assault, and
eagerly distributing the message. The book richly illustrates the
enduring nature of structural racism, even as a conservative
insistence on colorblindness serves to silence the possibility of
doing anything about it. Crucially, Goldberg exposes the political
aims and effects of the vitriolic attacks. The upshot of CRT’s
targeting, he argues, has been to unleash racisms anew and to
stymie any attempt to fight them, all with the aim of protecting
white minority rule.
