A new edition of a seminal text in Critical Race Theory Since the
publication of the third edition of Critical Race Theory: An
Introduction in 2017, the United States has experienced a dramatic
increase in racially motivated mass shootings and a pandemic that
revealed how deeply entrenched medical racism is and how public
disasters disproportionately affect minority communities. We have
also seen a sharp backlash against Critical Race Theory, and a
president who deemed racism a thing of the past while he fanned the
flames of racial intolerance and promoted nativist sentiments among
his followers. Now more than ever, the racial disparities in all
aspects of public life are glaringly obvious. Taking note of all
these developments, this fourth edition covers a range of new
topics and events and addresses the rise of a fierce wave of
criticism from right-wing websites, think tanks, and foundations,
some of which insist that America is now colorblind and has little
use for racial analysis and study. Award-winning authors Richard
Delgado and Jean Stefancic also address the rise in legislative
efforts to curtail K–12 teaching of racial history. Critical Race
Theory, Fourth Edition, is essential for understanding developments
in this burgeoning field, which has spread to other disciplines and
countries. The new edition also covers the ways in which other
societies and disciplines adapt its teachings and, for readers
wanting to advance a progressive race agenda, includes new readings
and questions for discussion aimed at outlining practical steps to
achieve this objective.
Updated to include the Black Lives Matter movement, the presidency
of Barack Obama, the rise of hate speech on the Internet, and more
Since the publication of the first edition of Critical Race Theory
in 2001, the United States has lived through two economic
downturns, an outbreak of terrorism, and the onset of an epidemic
of hate directed against immigrants, especially undocumented
Latinos and Middle Eastern people. On a more hopeful note, the
country elected and re-elected its first black president and has
witnessed the impressive advance of gay rights. As a field,
critical race theory has taken note of all these developments, and
this primer does so as well. It not only covers a range of emerging
new topics and events, it also addresses the rise of a fierce wave
of criticism from right-wing websites, think tanks, and
foundations, some of which insist that America is now colorblind
and has little use for racial analysis and study. Critical Race

The beginning of the twentieth century saw the rise of socialism
and the union movement in the United States. Immigration brought
waves of Europeans into the mill towns of the Northeast. With this
came overcrowded tenements, income disparity, and anti-immigrant
sentiment. All of these elements converged In Little Falls, New
York, a mill city in the Mohawk Valley of central New York. Strike
Story is a dramatic retelling of events leading up to and during
the Little Falls, New York, Textile Strike of 1912. Presented as
readers' theatre, the play relies on the words of people involved
as well as the published accounts of the events from contemporary
newspapers and material from government documents. The play
dramatizes the impact of the tuberculosis crisis in Little Falls,
the role of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire on mills throughout New
York State, and the day-by-day events of the strike with focus on
the free speech fight and the riot of October 30, 1912.
Children especially will love hearing this bedtime story as it
affirms how the embrace of a loved one, especially a mother, can
soothe and erase any hurt, whether it is real or perceived. The
Ballad of Momma's Arms is a lyrical tale of a mother's caress. Her
arms sing and soothe away the pain felt by her little girl caused
by the laughter from other children. Although the children are not
actually laughing at Munkie, Munkie imagines that they are.
Its opponents call it part of \u0022the lunatic fringe,\u0022 a
justification for \u0022black separateness,\u0022 \u0022the most
embarrassing trend in American publishing.\u0022 \u0022It\u0022 is
Critical Race Theory. But what is Critical Race Theory? How did it
develop? Where does it stand now? Where should it go in the future?
In this volume, thirty-one CRT scholars present their views on the
ideas and methods of CRT, its role in academia and in the culture
at large, and its past, present, and future. Critical race
theorists assert that both the procedures and the substance of
American law are structured to maintain white privilege. The
neutrality and objectivity of the law are not just unattainable
ideals; they are harmful actions that obscure the law's role in
protecting white supremacy. This notion-so obvious to some, so
unthinkable to others-has stimulated and divided legal thinking in
this country and, increasingly, abroad. The essays in Crossroads,
Directions, and a New Critical Race Theory-all original-address
this notion in a variety of helpful and exciting ways. They use
analysis, personal experience, historical narrative, and many other
techniques to explain the importance of looking critically at how
race permeates our national consciousness.
