Description
Despite the watershed election of Barack Obama and the claims that racial history ended that day, the painful reality of racism in America has been thrust into the headlines over the past year. The Race Track dispenses with the myth of post-racial America, explaining not only why race matters more than ever but also how we can fashion 21st-century solutions to combating racial injustice. The Race Track champions an intersectional path - pioneered by Kimberle Crenshaw - one that will appeal to people of all races who want to know how to speak the language of racial justice.

-Toni Morrison
"Critical Race Theory is a compilation of provocative writings that challenges us to consider the relationship between race, the legal system, and society at large."
-Senator Bill Bradley
"A fundamental reference guide to any serious work on race."
