Critical Race Theory, An Introduction by Richard Delgado
An Introduction
This concise primer traces the development of a legal and intellectual movement that examines how race and racism are embedded in law and public policy, arguing that formal equality and colorblind doctrines often mask structural inequality. It introduces key concepts—such as intersectionality, interest convergence, the social construction of race, and the use of storytelling and counter-narratives—to show how dominant narratives sustain racial hierarchies and how legal reforms can fall short without attention to power and context. Written for a general audience, it combines theoretical exposition, historical background, and practical implications to challenge conventional civil-rights strategies and advocate for a more candid, transformative approach to racial justice.
