CRITICAL RACE THEORY - RICHARD DELGADO JEAN STE...

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 US 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 Theory 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 questions for discussion  aimed at outlining practical
steps to achieve this objective.
