Summary:
"David Theo Goldberg analyzes the claims expressed in the attacks on critical race theory (CRT). He punctures the demonization of CRT, uncovering who is orchestrating it, funding the assault, and distributing the message. The book illustrates the enduring nature of structural racism, even as a conservative insistence on colorblindness serves to silence the possibility of doing anything about it. Goldberg exposes the political aims and effects of the vitriolic attacks. The upshot of CRT's targeting, he argues, has been to unleash racisms anew and to stymie any attempt to fight them, all with the aim of protecting white minority rule" -- Adapted from the publisher's description.
