The dominant tendency within critical race theory of education has been to focus on how educational systems and practices reproduce racialized social systems within local and national contexts. It has privileged the knowledge produced by racialised groups through story-telling to counter dominant racial ideologies. Given that racial knowledge and emotions circulate globally, the challenge today for educational scholars, students, and activists is to explain how local and national educational systems draw from global forms of racism to maintain racialised social systems within nations and across the world. Drawing on insights from decolonial thought, critical Muslim studies, and Black thought, we outline a global critical race theory approach to educational scholarship and practice.
