Description
Summary:Mounting attacks on the once-obscure legal theory of "critical race theory" are upending public schooling, legislating censorship, driving elections and cleaving communities. Goldberg cuts to the heart of the claims expressed in the attacks. He illustrates the enduring nature of structural racism, even as a conservative insistence on colorblindness serves to silence the possibility of doing anything about it. He argues that targeting CRT is unleashing racisms anew, and stymieing any attempt to fight them, all in the aim of protecting white minority rule.
