Sample Book Insights:

#1 Critical Race Theory is a movement pushed by activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power. It is not interested in simply understanding the world, but in changing it so that it conforms to its vision of power dynamics.

#2 Despite how clear it is, it is still controversial to accuse Critical Race Theory of being a Marxian Theory. However, the evidence is overwhelming.

#3 Critical Race Theory is a form of race Marxism that replaces class with race in order to understand inequality. It believes that the economic inequality classical Marxian Theorists are interested in is not comprehensible without seeing it as another manifestation of systemic racism.

#4 Critical Race Theory is a theory that was developed to shift leftist politics away from economic concerns and toward the politics of identity. It was developed by neo-Marxist and Critical Theorists Herbert Marcuse in the 1960s, and it has been used to push Identity Politics in universities ever since.
