In Anglo-American culture wars, critical race theory has become a loosely defined and weaponised catchword employed by right-wing political movements to suppress critiques of racism in society. But beyond this bad-faith use of the term, critical race theory has been the most influential theoretical framework since the 1990s for studying how racial injustice is reproduced and contested through education. In this chapter, we trace the beginnings of critical race theory before turning to various good-faith criticisms of this orientation, including its ahistoricism, its methodological nationalism, and its tendency to overlook the necropolitical aspects of global racialized modernity.

摘要

In Anglo-American culture wars, critical race theory has become a loosely defined and weaponised catchword employed by right-wing political movements to suppress critiques of racism in society. But beyond this bad-faith use of the term, critical race theory has been the most influential theoretical framework since the 1990s for studying how racial injustice is reproduced and contested through education. In this chapter, we trace the beginnings of critical race theory before turning to various good-faith criticisms of this orientation, including its ahistoricism, its methodological nationalism, and its tendency to overlook the necropolitical aspects of global racialized modernity.
