Critical Race Theory, An Introduction by Richard Delgado

5.0

There is actually a second edition of this book that updates it and critiques the "Post-racial" claims after the election of Barack Obama. This book changed just about everything about the way I think and I don't mean just about race. Combined with Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, I can no longer think about "fairness" or "truth" or "justice" the same way. EVERYTHING must be criticized. By this I mean, critically thought about, debated, and put to sunshine because we have taken a lot for granted, even the way we think about our political, religious, and logic/learning systems.

This book will likely upset more than a few. I say again, if I wasn't reading it with Pedagogy of the Oppressed at the same time, I might have been more likely to dismiss it. Still, this book was a game changer for me.
