Critical Race and the Search for Truth is unique in that it advances our understanding of how this theory came about, the ways it has been problematized, and the ways in which it can be a tool to move us all forward. The book will provide a clear and concise theoretical approach, with applicable theorems that not only explain our contemporary racial misunderstandings but specific theorems that help us go past initial theorizing to predictive capabilities. These predictive capabilities not only allow us to identify the conditions that gave rise to racial systems but predict the conditions that preserve and alternatively help us dismantle these systems.The main markets for the proposed book are students (upper undergraduate and postgraduate) and academics in sociology, race and ethnicity studies, global studies, and aligned disciplines.This book presents a comprehensive exploration of Critical Race Theory, offering a clear understanding of its origins, the way it has been problematized and its potential for societal change.
By examining the historical influence of imperialism and capitalism, the author critiques both liberal and conservative perspectives. Centring the voices of marginalized groups, the book highlights their position as agents of change who have been consistently rejected, ignored or attacked by both the right and the left.
Providing a unique perspective on Critical Race Theory, this book is a valuable resource for readers seeking to navigate the complexities of systemic racism and how to dismantle these systems.
