Race Marxism : the truth about critical race theory and praxis / by Lindsay, James,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Race Marxism exists to tell the truth about Critical Race Theory in unprecedented clarity and depth. Across its six weighty chapters, Lindsay explains what Critical Race Theory is, what it believes, where it comes from, how it operates, and what we can do about it now that we know what we're dealing with. It exposes Critical Race Theory for what it is by ranging widely across its own literature and a survey of some of the darkest philosophical currents of the last three hundred years in Western thought. Readers will come away understanding Critical Race Theory and be able to speak the truth about it with authority: Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, and, like all Marxist Theories before it, it will not work this time."-- Provided by publisher.

Conclusion -- The future -- A critical race agenda for the new century -- Likely responses to the critical race theory movement -- Critical race theory becomes the new civil rights orthodoxy -- Critical race theory marginalized and ignored -- Critical race theory analyzed but rejected -- Partial incorporation."Since the publication of the first edition of [this book], 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."--

Coming clean : the rise of critical theory and the future of the left / by Heinze, Eric,author.(CARDINAL)863692;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Power oppressing -- Histories teaching -- Hurricanes raging -- Education responding -- Interests converging -- Underdogs biting -- Evils purifying -- Socialism hating -- Identities emerging -- Jews wondering -- Dots connecting."Coming Clean shows how the left can regain power and influence by reckoning with its own past, warts and all, and applying the tools of critical theory to itself as well as to others"--"Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its 'wokeness.' In Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century - Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of 'hatred,' and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground." --

This reader, edited by the principal founders and leading theoreticians of the critical race theory movement, gathers together for the first time the movement's most import essays. -- Back cover.

On critical race theory : why it matters & why you should care / by Ray, Victor(Victor Erik),author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 135-161) and index.Introduction: Why critical race theory matters -- The social construction of race -- Structural racism -- Colorblind racism -- Racial progress -- Interest convergence -- Whiteness as property -- Counternarratives -- Racialized organizations -- Intersectionality -- Identity politics."From renowned scholar Dr. Victor Ray, On Critical Race Theory seeks to explain the centrality of race in American history and politics, and how the often mischaracterized intellectual movement became a political necessity. Dr. Ray draws upon the radical thinking of giants such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ida B. Wells, and W.E.B. Du Bois to clearly trace the foundations of Critical Race Theory in the Black intellectual traditions of emancipation and the civil rights movement. From this foundation, Dr. Ray explores the many facets that CRT interrogates, from deeply embedded structural racism to the historical connection between Whiteness and property, ownership, and more"--
