Produktbeschreibung
"Critical Race Theory" is consuming conservative America. The mounting attacks on a once-obscure legal theory are upending public schooling, legislating censorship, driving elections, and cleaving communities.

In this much-needed response, renowned scholar David Theo Goldberg cuts to the heart of the claims expressed in these attacks. He punctures the demonization of Critical Race Theory, uncovering who is orchestrating it, funding the assault, and eagerly distributing the message. The book richly illustrates the enduring nature of structural racism, even as a conservative insistence on colorblindness serves to silence the possibility of doing anything about it. Crucially, Goldberg exposes the political aims and effects of the vitriolic attacks. The upshot of CRT's targeting, he argues, has been to unleash racisms anew and to stymie any attempt to fight them, all with the aim of protecting white minority rule.

Rezensionen
"No one who cares about our multiracial democracy can afford to ignore the coordinated, well-funded, and fabricated attack against Critical Race Theory. David Theo Goldberg tells us exactly what we need to know to understand what is at stake, why everyone should pay attention, and what must be done to recover the promise of a livable future."
Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Columbia Law School and UCLA School of Law

"In this breathtaking exposé of the war on Critical Race Theory, David Theo Goldberg probes the orchestrated outrage, intellectual make-believe, and sloppy architecture of ideas espoused by those seeking desperately to maintain the racist status quo."
Ruha Benjamin, Princeton University, and author of Race After Technology and Viral Justice

"David Theo Goldberg does a masterful job of investigating the public conversation on Critical Race Theory. Through an extremely coherent and well-articulated set of analyses, he shows that many of CRT's challengers stand on faulty intellectual ground and have dubious motivations for questioning it."
Alford A. Young, Jr., University of Michigan, President of the Association of Black Sociologists

"I suppose the most hysterical anti-CRT folks are more likely to ban Goldberg's book than read it. But for those thinking people that may have heard rumours about the evils of CRT and aren't sure what to think, it's well worth picking up."
Earthbound Report

"Clearly indignant at the involuntary politicization of an entire field of research, Goldberg takes the reader on a tour de force of the misunderstandings that have permeated the debate on critical race theory, to then counter them. [...] Goldberg delivers a highly compelling and nuanced response to how a group of people desperately try to hold onto or reproduce their old world while a new one is in its infancy."
