About this listen

Updated to include the Black Lives Matter movement, the presidency of Barack Obama, the rise of hate speech on the Internet, and more.

Since the publication of the first edition of Critical Race Theory in 2001, the United States has lived through two economic downturns, an outbreak of terrorism, and the onset of an epidemic of hate directed against immigrants, especially undocumented Latinos and Middle Eastern people. On a more hopeful note, the country elected and re-elected its first black president and has witnessed the impressive advance of gay rights.

As a field, critical race theory has taken note of all these developments, and this primer does so as well. It not only covers a range of emerging new topics and events, it also addresses the rise of a fierce wave of criticism from right-wing websites, think tanks, and foundations, some of which insist that America is now colorblind and has little use for racial analysis and study.

Critical Race Theory is essential for understanding developments in this burgeoning field, which has spread to other disciplines and countries. The new edition also covers the ways in which other societies and disciplines adapt its teachings and, for listeners wanting to advance a progressive race agenda, includes new questions for discussion, aimed at outlining practical steps to achieve this objective.

Critical Race Theory is wonderfully read by Karen Chilton, acclaimed narrator of The New Jim Crow.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

too much time citing references when noting them can't be done when listening on treadmill or other situations.

Definitely intended for coursework

I found this book rather dry and boring at first until I realized that it's probably intended for a law school participant. I was then able to tune in and be more receptive to the information. Overall. I enjoyed this book and learned quite a bit, especially regarding how race and gender intersect in a potential legal framework.

CRT was not what I thought

For those wanting to get a bit more information on Critical Race Theory, this book is a good starting point. If all you believe is what the news shows from school board meetings or what politicians are wanting you to know then you definitely need to listen to or read this book. Nothing I have heard from the media and politicians is mentioned in this particular book about CRT, I am still trying to find their source as they don't want us to know. There was not call for apologizing for being white, not guilt trips for being white, no mention of changing history because it was written by whites; we have all ben fed lies by the media who sensationalizes the drama in the school board meetings and politicians who are fear mongering.

Well read and very interesting

This was well read, and topic is cogent and timely. it seems to.me it's better to have a written copy, even if just to follow along. The book itself is clearly intended for a classroom environment.

Broad & Insightful

Great broad, interesting and insightful introduction to understanding what Critical Race Theory is and what it is not. Enjoyed the factual U.S. court cases and factual texts cited including judicial rulings and the historical lenses from multiple perspectives. Arguments on various sides including solutions. A must hear or read for all especially policy makers and legislators.

ALL OVER THE PLACE

I've seen a YouTube video that gave better information. There are too many quotes and references and no clear explanation. It skips from subject to subject and example to example. This is not the book to get an understanding of the theory.

A very general idea.

This is exactly what it says, an introduction not always easy to understand but makes sense if you have done a bit of research before hand.

Decent overview of CRT and good narrator

A good introduction to the ideas of CRT. The book even has a chapter on possible critiques of CRT that help the book “seem” impartial. However, for those who have listened here are some questions to ask yourself.

1. What dangers exist in making your core philosophy a critique of the dominant viewpoint?

2. CRT is critical of capitalism, rationalism, colorblindness and many other things. It is never critical of Marxism or Communism. In fact it mentions an influx of Marxist thinkers in a certain situation as a positive turn of events. Is CRT ever critical of Marxism? If not, why?

3. How viable is CRT outside the United States? What happens if you explain CRT to someone in a less privileged/dominant Country than yours and they disagree with you? Who is right? If you come from a western dominant culture, as does CRT, how does that dynamic effect the conversation?

4. Chapter 1 begins by saying that CRT deals with the situations where race “seems” to play a role in an interaction. Is there anyway to scientifically test this assumption? If not, what dangers exist with creating laws, policies, and culture beliefs that are based on a philosophy which sometimes draws from accurate data or assumptions but sometimes makes inaccurate assumptions?


Chapter 1 begins by suggesting there are instances where race “seems” to play a role in the way a POC is treated and these are
