	Critical Race Theory Resource Guide
		Critical Race Theory has its roots in the more established fields of anthropology, sociology, history, philosophy, and politics.
		The notions of social construction and reality of race and discrimination are ever-present in the writings of known contemporary critical race theorists, such as Derrick Bell, Mari Matsuda, Richard Delgado, Kimberlie Crenshaw, and William Tate, as well as pioneers in the field, including W.E.B. DuBois and Max Weber.
		Again a keyword search on "critical race theory" only resulted in 7 hits, but this database is instrumental in finding current works on such a new field.

	Critical theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first meaning of the term critical theory was that defined by Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School of social science in his 1937 essay Traditional and Critical Theory : critical theory is social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only to understanding or explaining it.
		The second meaning of critical theory is that of theory used in literary criticism – hence "critical theory" -- and in the analysis and understanding of literature and is discussed in greater detail under literary theory.
		Critical theory in literature and the humanities in general does not necessarily involve a normative dimension, whereas critical social theory does, either through criticizing society from some general theory of values, norms, or oughts, or through criticizing it in terms of its own espoused values.

		In the humanities and social sciences, critical theory is a general term for new theoretical developments (roughly since the 1960s) in a variety of fields, informed by structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, Marxist theory, and several other areas of thought.
		Among the fields grouped within the designation are Marxist theory such as the Frankfurt School, psychoanalytic theory such as the work of Jacques Lacan, semiotic and linguistic theory such as Julia Kristeva and Roland Barthes, queer theory, gender studies, cultural studies, and critical race theory.
		The second major focus of critical theory is on specific ways that cultural institutions - ranging from media to religion to scientific and academic work - are used to shape identities, dictating what is accepted as true, normal, or acceptable within a culture, offering privilege to some, and marginalizing or denying others.

	The Need for a Critical Raced Economics
		Critical race theory has made tremendous strides in deconstructing the operation of racialized power and the processes that render it invisible to the individuals at the sites at which such power is concentrated and exercised.
		LatCrit and critical race theory should be operationalized to transform the nature of consensus reality, because the implementation of critical race and LatCrit perspectives will result in a dramatic change in the world view of all the individuals and organizations that are embedded in racialized cultures.
		If LatCrit and critical race theory are to create lasting change reaching to the heart and roots of the subordination project they must overcome their resistance to economic analyses as a mode of interdisciplinarity.

	Critical Theory
		According to these theorists, a “critical” theory may be distinguished from a “traditional” theory according to a specific practical purpose: a theory is critical to the extent that it seeks human emancipation, “to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them” (Horkheimer 1982, 244).
		Critical Theorists have always insisted that critical approaches have dual methods and aims: they are both explanatory and normative at the same time, adequate both as empirical descriptions of the social context and as practical proposals for social change.
		The lesson for a critical theory of globalization is to see the extension of political space and the redistribution of political power not only as a constraint similar to complexity but also as an open field of opportunities for innovative, distributive, and multiperspectival forms of publicity and democracy.

	NYU Press
		The critical race theory (CRT) movement is a collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power.
		Critical race theory sprang up in the mid-1970s, as a number of lawyers, activists, and legal scholars across the country realized, more or less simultaneously, that the heady advances of the civil rights era of the 1960s had stalled and, in many respects, were being rolled back.
		Realizing that new theories and strategies were needed to combat the subtler forms of racism that were gaining ground, early writers such as Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, and Richard Delgado (coauthor of this primer) put their minds to the task.

	APA Newsletters 98:2 - White Feminists Doing Critical Race Theory
		However, when race is separated from gender in philosophical discussions of race, the experiences of women of color and the work of feminists of color that theorizes the interrelatedness of gender, race, class, and sexuality are ignored and erased.
		White feminist race traitors are aware of the extent to which both critical race theory and feminist theory are blamed for polluting the discipline of philosophy.
		White feminist race traitors are white feminists who struggle to decenter whiteness in their feminist theorizing and activism and who attempt to take responsibility for the ways in which white privilege informs their feminist theory, activism, and personal relationships.

	From Critical Race Theory
		By all accounts, Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an intellectual movement of progressive law scholars—primarily of color—who view the law as complicitous in sustaining white supremacy, and, by extension, upholding similar hierarchies within gender, class, and sexual orienta-tion.
		Because CRT deliberately employs rhetoric as a means of fighting social inequities and because their medium of expression is a significant aspect of their message, I posit that CRT can have direct and immediate relevance to that other discursive space in which compositionists reside, the writing classroom.
		Their racial formation theory is based on the critique that perceiving race as strictly an ideological construct has limitations because it fails to recognize the reality of a racialized society; in other words, to erase the notion of race is to erase one’s identity.

	Carol A. Aylward. Canadian Critical Race Theory: Racism and the Law.
		Chapter 1 explains what CRT is and how it began in the mid-1970s, as antiracist lawyers and legal scholars in the U.S. realized that the gains of the heady civil rights era had stalled and, in some cases, were being rolled back.
		Chapter 3, Canadian Critical Race Litigation, discusses landmark police brutality and jury selection cases in which insistent advocacy raising the “race question” proved successful, and other less successful cases in which the court “erased” race.
		In the final two chapters, Aylward proposes a novel approach, grounded in Critical Race Theory, for representing fl clients, and addresses ethical problems that may arise in the course of such representation.

	What is Thought, Critical Race Theory and Eugenics. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		First, as a critical intervention into traditional civil rights scholarship, critical race theory describes the relationship between ostensibly race-neutral ideals, like 'the rule of law,' 'merit,' and 'equal protection,' and the structure of white supremacy and racism.
		Second, as a race-conscious and quasi-modernist intervention into critical legal scholarship, critical race theory proposes ways to use 'the vexed bond between law and racial power' to transform that social structure and to advance the political commitment of racial emancipation.
		A well-defined theory Baum explains, is one that has few parameters, because the fewer the parameters or complexities the greater the theory maps onto the real world.

	SSRN-The Law and Economics of Critical Race Theory by Devon Carbado, Gaurang Gulati
		The strength of CRT is its conception of race as a social construction.
		A limitation of CRT is that much of its analysis of race as a social construction is macro-oriented.
		Explicitly incorporating L&E's focus on incentives and norms into CRT provides CRT with a means by which to articulate the notion of race as a social construction at the level of individual "choice." The basic idea is that people of color construct (present racial impressions of) themselves in response to norms.
