About this ebook
For well over a decade, critical race theorythe school of thought that holds that race lies at the very nexus of American lifehas roiled the legal academy. In recent years, however, the fundamental principles of the movement have influenced other academic disciplines, from sociology and politics to ethnic studies and history. And yet, while the critical race theory movement has spawned dozens of conferences and numerous books, no concise, accessible volume outlines its basic parameters and tenets. Here, then, from two of the founders of the movement, is the first primer on one of the most influential intellectual movements in American law and politics.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Short intro text; not sure it was as useful as some of the foundational texts like Patricia Williams, The Alchemy of Race and Rights. But kind of heartbreaking to read the 2017 edition and its rather mild hopes from 2021, when backlash is in full swing.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm not sure I'm 100% on-board with CRT, though I find that I agree with... 40%? 50%? But I'm the "mainstream liberal" who believes in "Enlightenment philosophy", so that is not surprising: CRT is both a reaction against and a building upon "old" liberalism.
That isn't why I give two stars though. (Maybe that gives it three stars...?) This book is just too little. It covers everything at a very high level, with very little to no expansion on the ideas introduced. While each chapter lists 'suggested readings', these are not e.g. end-noted within the text, so whether you agree or disagree (or merely are suspicious of, or 'merely' interested in) something, you kind of have to guess what you should follow up on. So the 'suggested readings' are less immediately helpful than they might otherwise be. The authors are themselves CRT practitioners/proponents/etc. but they are unable (or unwilling, or whatever) to shelve this; I come from the physical sciences so the complete and utter lack of anything even remotely like an unbiased presentation was continually distracting. The chapter on critiques was hardly a chapter at all, and a bit of hand-waving around the existence of 'internal' debate isn't helpful in the least. The fact that there is even such a closed of 'internal' debate is somewhat disturbing, again as someone coming from the physical sciences, used to operating where in an environment where not playing with all your cards on the table is considered the ultimate crime.
That said... it's a CliffsNotes for CRT. Which is useful. But I would prefer a much denser treatment, even in 'An Introduction.' - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was for me exactly what it's name implies -- an introduction to the field of Critical Race Theory. Since CRT became a key influence on how I think about issues of race and racism, and discrimination more broadly, it was obviously quite successful. The book is crisp and engaging, and provides an excellent primer on the range of issues CRT addresses.It's been awhile since I read this book, since it's been awhile since I was at an "introduction" stage in this area of law. But the other day one of my (law) students expressed an interest in some resources on race in American life, and so I lent it to her . Upon returning it, she was quite effusive in her praise, telling me it opened up a bunch of avenues for further inquiry and sparked several sustained discussions with her classmates. So it seems like the book still has the goods.
