A Good Story to Tell
Ed Park, interviewed by Sable Gravesandy and Anacaona Rodriguez Martinez
“As an editor, I liked it when writers opened my eyes to their passions, however obscure they might seem. As a writer, I want to do the same.”

In The New York Review’s October 21, 2021 issue, Ed Park reviews a new selection of works by the Korean modernist writer Yi Sang. An avant-garde poet, story writer, visual artist, and architect, Yi Sang was born in 1910, just after Korea became a Japanese colony, and died at the age of twenty-six. In his essay, Park writes about Yi Sang’s short life, his legacy, and how the writing of this “enigmatic outlaw and culture hero…crystallizes the anxiety of Korea under Japanese rule in the first half of the twentieth century.”
The author of the 2008 novel Personal Days, Park is also a journalist, a former executive editor at Penguin Press, and a founding editor of The Believer. As a writer and editor, Park defines both vocations as being about “discovery and enthusiasm,” working to entice readers into a new world. “As an editor, I liked it when writers opened my eyes to their passions, however obscure they might seem,” he told us via e-mail this week. “As a writer, I think I want to do the same thing.” Park, therefore, attempts to recreate the same feeling of “surprise and delight” in his editors and readers, consistently aiming to “tell a good story.”
It is with this mantra that Park links his fiction and nonfiction writing. Telling a good story may be “obvious when it comes to fiction,” he says. “But I try to do the same in articles and reviews—locate a plot and follow through.” When we asked him about his recent reviews of Yi Sang’s books for the Review and the Netflix drama Squid Game for The New Yorker, and the challenges that come with reviewing different types of art, Park explained:
The basic approaches are the same. You definitely have to know the history and context of a given medium or genre. In addition to fiction and (in the case of Yi Sang) poetry, I’ve been doing a regular column for The New York Times Book Review on graphic novels, which have their own rich tradition, their own movements and mavericks.
Really, I am a fan of so many different art forms and would love to write about them all. At this point, it’s an issue of not having enough time to take everything in.
Although Park has been working in publishing and journalism for years, he admits to occasionally having difficulty knowing where he stands. When discussing the attention in his recent work to a uniquely Korean-American experience, as opposed to the generic immigrant narratives American literature has just begun to depart from, Park says he has not yet resolved where he belongs within this cultural evolution.
“I’ve been writing for a long time now, fiction and nonfiction, and it can be hard to sense what changes have taken place in literary culture, and where exactly I fit in,” he said. “I should add that most of my stories over the years haven’t been about Asians or Koreans, though lately I seem to be writing more things along those lines.” Park explains that while he does not want ethnic identity to limit his scope, the opportunity to explore these topics does have a “deeper resonance” for him. Despite there being more high-profile Asian-American writers today, he is still often “the only visibly Asian name in a magazine’s table of contents,” he noted. “I suppose as a writer and an editor, it’s been meaningful having my name out there for such a long time. It’s not a very long name—maybe I should have gone with “Edward” from the start—but perhaps it means something to somebody.”
Park’s interest in Korean history and culture was largely inspired by his parents: “Having been born in America, I’ve always been curious about my parents’ lives before they came here in the late 1960s. This fascination has only increased as I’ve gotten older.” Park’s father, a retired psychiatrist in Buffalo, often acts as a cultural bridge for him. Occasionally his father will look for Korean articles online to help him with his research. “I like to joke that he’s my research assistant,” he said. His father’s knowledge also came in handy for Park’s review of Yi Sang in the Review. “I was reading the new Selected Works and other translations, but I’d occasionally bounce a couple versions off of him.”
Here, Park’s father made an intriguing discovery in the translation:
My dad looked at one of Yi Sang’s infamous “Crow’s Eye View” poems for me—the one with a backward grid of numbers,” he said. “According to my father, the Chinese characters that Yi Sang used to write “that’s all”—right before his signature at the end of the poem—would have been pronounced, in Korean, as “yi sang.” These aren’t the same characters he used to write his pen name, to be clear, but they sound the same—a further doubling or mirroring at the end of a poem that’s a grid of backward (mirrored) numbers. My admiration for Yi Sang itself doubled upon learning this.
Park’s admiration began twenty years ago, when he discovered Yi Sang’s work in Myong Hee Kim’s translations. “I found it so puzzling and strange,” he said. “I liked the total weirdness of it, and was fascinated by the wild, brief life that he lived.” For Park, each of Yi Sang’s works demonstrates a different side of him: “For someone who lived such a short life, he seemed positively oceanic, limitless. How to make sense of such an artist?” The Selected Works, especially, helped Park understand Yi Sang’s career as an architect: “The more I read, the more fleshed out he became,” he said, and his fascination goes beyond literary appreciation alone. The poignancy of Yi Sang’s early death from tuberculosis, he realizes, had also exerted “a pull on me over the years.” As he recalls in a footnote to his review, Park’s paternal grandmother had also died of TB, just a year after Yi Sang did.
Park now has a second novel in the works, Same Bed, Different Dreams (a title taken from an old Korean saying), but we wondered how he now viewed the central concern of his 2008 fiction debut—the intimate details of officer-workers’ anxious lives—in light of today’s pandemic-related remote-working environment. “Despite the inevitable time-capsule vibe [of Personal Days],” said Park, “the basic human story of people brought together by the happenstance of employment still rings true, even in today’s more WFH-friendly world.”

Christian Review 호주평강장로교회 임영순(66) 목사
임영순목사는 지역신문에 소개되기도 (물론 형제복지원 관여 부분은 제하고):
호주평강장로교회를 23년째 맡아 목회해 오던 임영순(66) 목사가지난 7월 7일은퇴했다.
이제성역을조용히내려놓고호주한인교회를위한새로운비전을품고있는임목사는호주한인교회역사의소용돌이와함께삶을같이해온한인교회사의산증인중한사람이다.
분쟁과분열로얼룩진한인교회역사속에서임목사가던지는“연약한교회에끝까지남아있는성도들께감사한다.”는메시지는의미심장하다.
임목사는1986년가나안장로교회담임으로이민목회를 시작했다.
1990년 2월 호주평강장로교회를 개척한그는 시드니한인교회연합회 회장과 대양주예수교장로회 초대총회장으로 봉사했다.
은퇴예배에서 많은 사람들의마음에잔잔한감동을던져주었던임목사를지난7월18일자택에서만났다.
이민목회 27년‘조기은퇴
임목사는얼굴이약간야윈듯보였다.하지만핸섬한외모와잘정돈된언어에서강하면서도부드러운그의영성을 가늠할 수 있었다. 그는 자리에 앉자마자 홍관표목사(시드니중앙장로교회원로목사)얘기를꺼냈다.“언젠가 홍 목사님을 만났는데 저보고 그러시더라고요.‘은퇴하신다면서요?’ ‘네, 얼마 안 남았습니다.’ ‘은퇴해 보십시오.’ ‘왜요?’ ‘인생이 싹 달라집니다.’뭘 그렇게 처절하게 느끼셨는지 그 뉘앙스가‘당신도 한 번해봐라.’그런의미인데기분이묘하더라고요. 경험자이시니까요.허허허.”그는말을이었다.“그때가한달전일겁니다. 그런데막상은퇴를하니까요, 흔한말로하루가천년같이시간이그리더뎌요.평소 목회할 때는 그래도 준비가 있지 않습니까? 물론하던 일은 다하고 있어요. 새벽에 나가 기도하고 운동하고다하는데도한주가그렇게길수가없어요
그런데 저는 은퇴할 때 이 얘기만 했어요. ‘하나님께감사하고 죄송하고 연약한 교회에서 끝까지 남아있는성도들께 감사하고 아내와 자녀들이 교인이며 자녀로수고한데대해감사하고미안하다’고요.정말잘못한것밖에생각이안나송구스러울뿐입니다.”
-66세에조기은퇴하신이유가있으십니까?′
저는부족하고허물많은사람이지만그동안하나님이은혜로목회를감당하게하셨습니다. 제가호주에서사역한기간은27년이고그중호주평강장로교회에서의사역은23년이었습니다.한마디로 목회는 하나님의 영에 달려있는 거지만 저보다 훨씬 더 나은 분이 해야만 되겠다는 생각으로 성도들한테 미리 공표를 했었어요. 모든 것이 은혜라고생각하고감사한마음이들었습니다.”임목사는성도들에게‘조기은퇴’약속을지켰다.
가나안장로교회에서시작한초년목회어느 날 부산 새마음교회에서 왕성한 사역을 펼치던임 목사에게 한 통의 전화가 왔다. 체스우드교회에서사역하고 있는 지인 목사였다. 지인 목사는 호주로 와사역할것을권했다. 한두차례거절끝에그는 1984년호주로왔다“호주로와서기다리고있었어요. 그리고곧공동의회가열렸고저를청빙하기로결정을한거죠. 그런데연락이없는겁니다. 이상하다, 결정한것으로알고있는데 왜 연락이 없을까. 나중에 알고 보니까 체스우드교회에서 연락을 부산 새마음교회로 한 거에요.
그때 우리교회장로님이전화를받았는데‘우리목사님그교회에안가기로했습니다’그렇게일방적으로말씀을하신거죠.사실그장로님은제가가는걸말렸거든요.그러니까체스우드교회에서는부산으로연락을하고저는호주에서연락이오기만을기다리고요. 이런사실을나중에서야알고죄송하다는전화를교회에드렸어요.본인한테연락을했어야죠.그런후86년10월가나안장로교회의청빙을받은거지요. 당시한인교회가 10여개정도됐을거에요.”
- 목회를 하면서 제일 아쉬웠던 점은 어떤 것이었습니까?
“사실잘못한것밖에생각이안나요.부족하고허물많은사람이었거든요. 당시가나안교회에부임해보니새벽기도회가없었어요. 새벽기도를시작했죠. 이렇게사역을 펼쳐나가던 중 성도와 불화가 있었어요. 교회가합병을 하니까 문제가 생기더라고요. 이때 좀 더 엎드리고기도하는가운데지혜를구하고잘처리만했으면좋았을텐데인간적인측면에서내마음대로처리를한거에요.순간시원했는데이게평생따라다니더라고요.잠재력은 컸습니다. 돌이켜볼 때 한 번의 실수 아, 그 손해가얼마나 컸던지. 상처받은 사람은 나름대로 앙갚음하려하고,목회에지장이너무많았습니다.교회다운교회를만들어 보려고 했는데 몇 년 동안 가슴이 아팠습니다.목회경험이 없는데다 약점이 많았어요. 그런데 감사한것은그뒤로부터는그렇게했던것을반복하지않는그런은혜를받았습니다.한량없는주의은혜지요.”
- 목회를 하면서 제일 역점을 둔 것이 무엇이었습니까?
“교회의 지상사명이 전도니까 교회 지역을 중심으로전도를 계속해왔습니다. 한국에서 전도지를 만들어 왔어요. 예배후면으레온교인이거리로나가전도지를나눠주며소산중창단과함께노방전도를했어요. 2007년부터는 브라스밴드(헵시바)를 만들어 전도를 계속해오고 있는데 열매는 많이 없었습니다. 그러나 그런 일들을 통하여 교인들로 하여금 전도가 생활화되었다는거지요.그열정과설렘,간절함이그립습니다.사실은 제가 이민교회에 정착하면서 가졌던 꿈이 있습니다. 1968년도말서울 YMCA 회관에서전석환씨가 통기타치며포크송을부르며인도한‘건전가요부르기’라는프로그램이있었는데사람들이많이모였어요.대학생들도많았고요. 직접선물도하고사람들도만나고너무좋았어요.이민목회를 하면서 가만히 생각해 보니까 교회에 몸담은사람들이갈곳이별로없는거에요. 그래서그걸접목시켜 보려고 애를 썼는데 그 계획이 잘 안됐어요.‘목회자쉼터’같은것을만들었으면좋겠다는거죠.그때부터생각한것이‘기독교문화원’입니다. 폐쇄된교회에서만 생활할 것이 아니라 폭넓게 만날 수 있는공간을마련했으면좋겠다는것이제개인적인염원이었어요.언젠가 어느 목사님을 만났는데 그러시더라고요. 앞으로탈북자들도많이올텐데그분들이설자리가어디있겠느냐, 목사님이 구상했던 누구나 와서 만날 수 있는그런공간이마련됐으면좋겠다고말씀하셨어요.향후 제가 아닐지라도 이민사회에 그런 장소가 마련돼 그곳이 많은 사람들의 쉼터가 됐으면 좋겠다, 그런아쉬움과바람이있어요.”앞으로사역에있어서어떤계획을갖고있느냐고물었다.우체통선교회에서봉사“저는오래전부터우체통선교회를섬기기로이미선포했습니다. 그곳에서 예배드리며 전도하고 있는데 제가할수있는범위에서최선을다해감당하고싶습니다.”
-후배목회자들에게권면의말씀을해주십시오.
“제목회가실패라면실패인데실패한결정적인게뭐냐,모세가하나님을믿지아니하고우리가너희를위하여물을내랴하고지팡이로반석을쳐물을냈지않습니까. 분노로 죄를 범한 거지요. 그것으로 모세는 가나안땅에들어가지못하고멀리서바라만보게됩니다.사실성도들과불화가생겼을때쓴뿌리로봤습니다.인간적인것이많이작용을한거지요. 제나이가 40이었으니까혈기왕성할때가아닙니까? 엎드려기도하면서 하나님께 지혜를 구해야 되는데 못 참겠더라고요.결국해서는안될일을했지요. 그때는너무시원하더라고요. 그래서 실제 목회현장에서 중요한 것은 어떤상황에 처했을 때 나타난 결과가 내가 시원하면 절대안 된다. 성도를 감싸고 보듬어 줘야지 어찌 목회자가시원할수있느냐. 그런데저는결과를놓고너무시원했거든요

<간추린 이야기>
1987년 박인근 원장이 감옥에 들어가자 형제복지원은 '해방'을 맞았다. 시설 열쇠꾸러미를 관리하던 임봉근(73) 씨는 혼자만 나올 수 없단 생각에 내무반 등 곳곳의 문을 땄다.
복지원에서 나왔지만 세상은 녹록지 않았다. 임 씨에겐 마땅히 갈 곳이 없었다.
이곳 저곳을 전전하던 중 박인근 원장의 막내 동생으로부터 연락이 왔다. 결국 형제복지원에서 운영하는 장애인 시설에서 각종 공사와 빨래, 청소 등을 도맡게 됐다.
박인근 원장은 고작 징역 2년 6개월을 산 뒤 풀려났다. 임 씨는 박 원장에게서 "호주로 가서 일해볼 생각이 없냐. 거기 가서 골프 기계도 고치고 하라"는 '강압'이나 다름없는 제의를 받았다.
1995년 가을, 임 씨는 영어 한 마디 할 줄 모르는 상태로 비행기에 몸을 실었다. 목적지는 시드니에서 차로 35~40분쯤 더 달려야 나오는 '밀페라'. 박인근 원장이 소유한 골프장을 관리하는 일이었다. 무려 2만여 평(약 8만㎡). 드넓은 잔디를 다 손질하려면 3~4시간만 자며 꼬박 사나흘 깎아야 했다. 골프 기계가 고장나면 시도때도 없이 공구를 들었다.
박 원장은 한 달에 한 번, 빠짐없이 골프장으로 날아왔다. 공이 얼마나 나갔는지, 매상은 얼마나 올랐는지, 잔디 상태는 괜찮은지 등을 깐깐하게 챙겼다.
현지에선 박 원장의 셋째 사위와 막내 아들, 그리고 임 씨가 골프장을 관리했지만 궂은 일은 사실상 임 씨가 도맡았다.
어느 날, '겨울 장마'로 잔디깎이(풀차) 바퀴가 계속 빠져 제대로 잔디 관리가 안 됐다. 풀이 자라 골프공이 안 보일 지경이었는데, 마침 박 원장이 골프장을 찾아 사달이 났다.
골프채를 사정없이 휘둘렀고 허리 등을 맞은 임 씨는 그대로 고꾸라졌다. 30분쯤 흘렀을까. 고함 소리를 들은 이웃 호주 사람들이 경찰에 신고했다. 조사를 받았지만 이후 생활은 그대로였다.
4년이 지나서야 동료 1명이 충원됐다. 번갈아가며 3개월을 호주에서 일하고, 귀국해 열흘 동안 비자를 받아 다시 출국하는 생활이 계속됐다.
월급은 언감생심. 매주 용돈으로 20달러 정도 받아서 빵과 음료수를 사먹으면 끝이었다.
형제복지지원재단이 기장군 정관에 중증장애인요양시설 '실로암의 집'을 지을 땐 한동안 부산에 머물며 용접일을 도맡았다. 2년 뒤 산사태가 일어나 장애인 아동 4명이 숨지는 참사가 벌어지기도 했다.
그러던 어느 날 호주에서 셋째 사위와 그의 아버지가 아침부터 찾아왔다. 박 원장이랑 얘기가 됐고 자신들에게 소유권을 넘기려고 하니 "조용히 묻어달라"는 부탁이었다.
엮이기 싫었던 임 씨는 비행기표를 끊어 완전히 한국으로 돌아왔다. 임 씨 출입국 기록을 보면, 1995년 9월부터 2005년 2월까지 18차례나 호주를 오갔다.
임 씨 여동생(임필순·71)은 형제복지원 일가에서 일하던 시절 오빠 모습을 생생히 기억한다. 형제원 아래 철도 쪽 경비를 통해 연락을 주고 받은 그녀는 간혹 돈이나 과자 등을 사들고 오빠를 보러 가기도 했다고 한다. 여기저기 맞아서 얼굴을 못 알아볼 정도일 때도 있었다.
호주골프장에서만 9년, 형제복지원 일가 손아귀에서 십수 년간 일했지만 여동생 집에 돌아왔을 때 임 씨는 빈털터리였다.

Critical race theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of US civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to examine the intersection of race and US law and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice.[1][2][3][4] CRT examines social, cultural, and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the US.[5][6] A tenet of CRT is that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals.[7][8]
CRT originated in the mid-1970s in the writings of several American legal scholars, including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.[1] It emerged as a movement by the 1980s, reworking theories of critical legal studies (CLS) with more focus on race.[1][9] CRT is grounded in critical theory[10] and draws from thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, and W. E. B. DuBois, as well as the Black Power, Chicano, and radical feminist movements from the 1960s and 1970s.[1]
CRT scholars view race and white supremacy as an intersectional social construct[7] that advances the interests of white people[11] at the expense of persons of other races.[12][13][14] In the field of legal studies, CRT emphasizes that formally colorblind laws can still have racially discriminatory outcomes.[15] A key CRT concept is intersectionality, which emphasizes that race can intersect with other identities (such as gender and class) to produce complex combinations of power and advantage.[16]
Academic critics of CRT argue that it relies on social constructionism, elevates storytelling over evidence and reason, rejects the concepts of truth and merit, and opposes liberalism.[17][18][19]
Since 2020, conservative US lawmakers have sought to ban or restrict critical race theory instruction along with other anti‑racism programs.[8][20] Critics of these efforts say the lawmakers have poorly defined or misrepresented the tenets and importance of CRT and that the goal of the laws is to more broadly silence discussions of racism, equality, social justice, and the history of race.[21][22][23]

Definitions
Roy L. Brooks defined critical race theory in 1994 as "a collection of critical stances against the existing legal order from a race-based point of view".[24] More specifically, race is a social construct and racism is neither an individual bias nor prejudice, but rather embedded in the legal system and supplemented with policies and procedures.[25]
Richard Delgado, a co-founder of the theory, defined it in 2017 as "a collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power".[26]
History
Early analyses that later consolidated into critical race theory developed in the 1970s as legal scholars, activists, and lawyers tried to understand why civil-rights-era victories had stalled and were being eroded.[27]
In the early 1980s, students of color at Harvard Law School organized protests regarding Harvard's lack of racial diversity in the curriculum, among students, and in the faculty.[28][29] These students supported professor Derrick Bell, who had resigned his position at Harvard because of what he viewed as the university's discriminatory practices.[22] Bell left Harvard in 1980 and then became the dean at University of Oregon School of Law. During his time at Harvard Law, Bell had developed new courses that studied American law through a racial lens. Harvard students of color wanted faculty of color to teach the new courses in his absence.[28][29] The university rejected student requests, responding that no sufficiently qualified black instructor existed.[30] Legal scholar Randall Kennedy writes that some students felt affronted by Harvard's choice to employ an "archetypal white liberal... in a way that precludes the development of black leadership".[31] In response, numerous students, including Kimberlé Crenshaw and Mari Matsuda, boycotted and organized to develop an "Alternative Course" using Bell's Race, Racism, and American Law (1973, 1st edition) as a core text.[32][33]
First meetings
The first formal meeting centered on critical race theory was the 1989 "New Developments in Critical Race Theory" workshop, an effort to connect the theoretical underpinnings of critical legal studies (CLS) to the day-to-day realities of American racial politics. The workshop was organized by Kimberlé Crenshaw for a retreat entitled "New Developments in Critical Race Theory" that effectively created the field. As Crenshaw states, only she, Matsuda, Gotanda, Chuck Lawrence, and a handful of others knew "that there were no new developments in critical race theory, because CRT hadn't had any old ones—it didn't exist, it was made up as a name. Sometimes you gotta fake it until you make it". Crenshaw states that critical race theorists had "discovered ourselves to be critical theorists who did race and racial justice advocates who did critical theory".[34][33] Crenshaw writes, "one might say that CRT was the offspring of a post-civil rights institutional activism that was generated and informed by an oppositionalist orientation toward racial power".[32]
One manner in which CRT diverged from CLS post-1987 was CRT's stress on the importance of race.[1] Though CLS criticized the legal system's role in generating and legitimizing oppressive social structures, it did not tend to provide alternatives. CRT scholars such as Derrick Bell and Alan Freeman argue that failure to include race and racism in its analysis prevented CLS from suggesting new directions for social transformation.[35]
The 1989 critical race theory workshop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, attended by 24 scholars of color, marked a turning point for the field. Following this meeting, scholars began publishing a higher volume of works employing critical race theory, including some that became popular among general audiences. In 1991, Patricia Williams published The Alchemy of Race and Rights, while Derrick Bell published Faces at the Bottom of the Well in 1992.[32]: 124
Spread
In 1995, pedagogical theorists Gloria Ladson-Billings and William F. Tate[further explanation needed] began applying the critical race theory framework in the field of education, moving it beyond the field of legal scholarship. They sought to better understand inequities in schooling. Scholars have since expanded work in this context to explore issues including segregation, relations between race, gender, and academic achievement, pedagogy, and research methodologies.[36]
As of 2002, over 20 American law schools and at least three non-American law schools offered critical race theory courses or classes that covered the issue.[37] In addition to law, critical race theory is taught and applied in the fields of education, political science, women's studies, ethnic studies, communication, sociology, and American studies. A variety of spin-off movements developed that apply critical race theory to specific groups. These include the Latino-critical (LatCrit), queer-critical, and Asian-critical movements. These other groups continued to engage with the main body of critical theory research, over time developing independent priorities and research methods.[38] More recently, CRT has been taught internationally, including in the United Kingdom and Australia.[39][40]
List of scholars
Principal figures of the theory include Derrick Bell, Patricia J. Williams, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Camara Phyllis Jones, Angela P. Harris, Charles Lawrence, Alan Freeman, Neil Gotanda, Mitu Gulati, Jerry Kang, Eric Yamamoto, Robert Williams, Ian Haney López, Kevin Johnson, Laura E. Gómez, Margaret Montoya, Juan Perea, Francisco Valdes, Dean Carbado, Cheryl Harris, Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Tom Ross, Stephanie Wildman, Nancy Levit, Robert Harman, Jean Stefancic, André Cummings and Mari Matsuda.[41][42]
Common themes
Common themes that are characteristic of critical race theory, as documented by scholars such as Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, include:
Critique of liberalism: Critical race theory scholars question foundational liberal concepts such as Enlightenment rationalism, legal equality and constitutional neutrality, and they challenge the incrementalist approach of traditional civil-rights discourse.[26] They favor a race-conscious approach to social transformation, critiquing liberal ideas such as affirmative action, color blindness, role modeling, or the merit principle[43] with an approach that relies more on political organizing, in contrast to liberalism's reliance on rights-based remedies.[example needed]
Storytelling, counter-storytelling, and "naming one's own reality": The use of narrative (storytelling) to illuminate and explore lived experiences of racial oppression.[44][example needed] Bryan Brayboy has emphasized the epistemic importance of storytelling in Indigenous-American communities as superseding that of theory, and has proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribCrit).[45]
Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress: Criticism of civil-rights scholarship and anti-discrimination law, such as Brown v. Board of Education. Derrick Bell, one of CRT's founders, argues that civil-rights advances for black people coincided with the self-interest of white elitists, which Bell termed interest convergence.[46][47] Likewise, Mary L. Dudziak performed extensive archival research in the U.S. Department of State and Department of Justice and concluded that U.S. government support for civil-rights legislation "was motivated in part by the concern that racial discrimination harmed the United States' foreign relations".[48][example needed]
Intersectional theory: The examination of race, sex, class, national origin, and sexual orientation, and how their combination (i.e., their intersections) plays out in various settings, e.g., how the needs of a Latina female are different from those of a black male and whose needs are the ones promoted.[49][further explanation needed]
Standpoint epistemology: The view that a member of a minority has an authority and ability to speak about racism that members of other racial groups do not have, and that this can expose the racial neutrality of law as false.[1][example needed]
Essentialism vs. anti-essentialism: Delgado and Stefancic write, "Scholars who write about these issues are concerned with the appropriate unit for analysis: Is the black community one, or many, communities? Do middle- and working-class African-Americans have different interests and needs? Do all oppressed peoples have something in common?" This is a look at the ways that oppressed groups may share in their oppression but also have different needs and values that need to be looked at differently. It is a question of how groups can be essentialized or are unable to be essentialized.[50][further explanation needed]
Structural determinism: Exploration of how "the structure of legal thought or culture influences its content", whereby a particular mode of thought or widely shared practice determines significant social outcomes, usually occurring without conscious knowledge. As such, theorists posit that our system cannot redress certain kinds of wrongs.[51][example needed]
Empathetic fallacy: Believing that one can change a narrative by offering an alternative narrative in hopes that the listener's empathy will quickly and reliably take over. Empathy is not enough to change racism as most people are not exposed to many people different from themselves and people mostly seek out information about their own culture and group.[52][example needed]
Non-white cultural nationalism/separatism: The exploration of more radical views that argue for separation and reparations as a form of foreign aid (including black nationalism).[44][example needed]
Internalization
Karen Pyke has documented the theoretical element of internalized racism or internalized racial oppression, whereby victims of racism begin to believe in the ideology that they are inferior to whites and white culture. The internalizing of racism is not due to any weakness, ignorance, inferiority, psychological defect, gullibility, or other shortcomings of the oppressed. Instead, it is how authority and power in all aspects of society contribute to feelings of inequality.[53][example needed]
Institutional racism
Camara Phyllis Jones defines institutionalized racism as
differential access to the goods, services, and opportunities of society by race. Institutionalized racism is normative, sometimes legalized and often manifests as inherited disadvantage. It is structural, having been absorbed into our institutions of custom, practice, and law, so there need not be an identifiable offender. Indeed, institutionalized racism is often evident as inaction in the face of need, manifesting itself both in material conditions and in access to power. With regard to the former, examples include differential access to quality education, sound housing, gainful employment, appropriate medical facilities, and a clean environment.[54]
Influence of critical legal studies
Critical race theory shares many intellectual commitments with critical theory, critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, and postcolonial theory. But authors like Tommy J. Curry have written that the epistemic convergences with such approaches are emphasized due to the idealist turn in critical race theory. The latter, as Curry explains, is interested in discourse (i.e., how individuals speak about race) and the theories of white Continental philosophers, over and against the structural and institutional accounts of white supremacy which were at the heart of the realist analysis of racism introduced in Derrick Bell's early works,[55][page needed] and articulated through such Black thinkers as W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Judge Robert L. Carter.[56][page needed]
Critical race theory draws on the priorities and perspectives of both critical legal studies and conventional civil rights scholarship, while also sharply contesting both of these fields. Critical race theory's theoretical elements are provided by a variety of sources. Angela P. Harris describes critical race theory as sharing "a commitment to a vision of liberation from racism through right reason" with the civil rights tradition.[57] It deconstructs some premises and arguments of legal theory and simultaneously holds that legally constructed rights are incredibly important.[58][page needed] As described by Derrick Bell, critical race theory in Harris' view is committed to "radical critique of the law (which is normatively deconstructionist) and... radical emancipation by the law (which is normatively reconstructionist)".[59]
Applications
Scholars of critical race theory have focused, with some particularity, on the issues of hate crime and hate speech. In response to the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court in the hate speech case of R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul (1992), in which the Court struck down an anti-bias ordinance as applied to a teenager who had burned a cross, Mari Matsuda and Charles Lawrence argued that the Court had paid insufficient attention to the history of racist speech and the actual injury produced by such speech.[60]
Critical race theorists have also argued in favor of affirmative action. They propose that so-called merit standards for hiring and educational admissions are not race-neutral and that such standards are part of the rhetoric of neutrality through which whites justify their disproportionate share of resources and social benefits.[61]
Criticism
Academic
Law professors Daniel A. Farber and Suzanna Sherry argue that critical race theory lacks supporting evidence, relies on an implausible belief that reality is socially constructed, rejects evidence in favor of storytelling, rejects truth and merit as expressions of political dominance, and rejects the rule of law.[17] Farber and Sherry additionally posit that anti-meritocratic tenets in critical race theory, critical feminism, and critical legal studies may unintentionally lead to antisemitic and anti-Asian implications.[62][63] They suggest that the success of Jews and Asians within what critical race theorists argue is a structurally unfair system may lend itself to allegations of cheating, advantage-taking, or other such claims. Responses to Farber and Sherry published in the Harvard Law Review[64] argue that there is a difference between criticizing an unfair system and criticizing individuals who perform well inside that system.[17][64]
In a 1999 Boston College Law Review article titled Race, Equality and the Rule of Law: Critical Race Theory's Attack on the Promises of Liberalism, First Amendment lawyer Jeffrey J. Pyle argued that critical race theory undermined confidence in the rule of law. He wrote that "critical race theorists attack the very foundations of the liberal legal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law".[65]
Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals argued in 1997 that critical race theory "turns its back on the Western tradition of rational inquiry, forswearing analysis for narrative" and that "by repudiating reasoned argumentation, [critical race theorists] reinforce stereotypes about the intellectual capacities of nonwhites."[18] Former Judge Alex Kozinski, who served on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, criticized critical race theorists in 1997 for raising "insuperable barriers to mutual understanding" and thus eliminating opportunities for "meaningful dialogue".[66]
Political controversies
Critical race theory has stirred controversy in the United States since the 1980s for critiquing color blindness, promoting the use of narrative in legal studies, advocating "legal instrumentalism" as opposed to ideal-driven uses of the law, analyzing the U.S. Constitution and existing law as constructed according to and perpetuating racial power, and encouraging legal scholars to promote racial equity.[1] An example of an instrumentalist approach is attorney Johnnie Cochran's defense in the O. J. Simpson murder case, in which Cochran urged the jury to acquit Simpson in spite of the evidence against him—a form of jury nullification as payback for the United States' racist past.[1] In the run-up to and aftermath of the 2020 US presidential election, opposition to critical race theory was adopted as a campaign theme by Donald Trump and various conservative commentators on Fox News and right-wing talk radio shows.[22]
1990s
Lani Guinier, Bill Clinton's nominee for Assistant Attorney General, was attacked by Republicans in part for her association with CRT, in an attempt to block her nomination.[22] These attacks ultimately proved successful, since Clinton quickly withdrew her nomination on June 4, 1993, on the basis of disagreements with her legal philosophy.[67]
2010s
In 2010, a Mexican-American studies program in Tucson, Arizona, was halted because of a state law forbidding public schools from offering race-conscious education in the form of "advocat[ing] ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals".[68] Certain books, including a primer on CRT, were banned from the curriculum.[68] Matt de la Peña's young-adult novel Mexican WhiteBoy was banned for "containing 'critical race theory'" according to state officials.[69] The ban on ethnic-studies programs was later deemed unconstitutional on the grounds that the state showed discriminatory intent: "Both enactment and enforcement were motivated by racial animus", federal Judge A. Wallace Tashima ruled.[70]
2020s
Australia
In June 2021, following media reports that the proposed national curriculum was "preoccupied with the oppression, discrimination and struggles of Indigenous Australians", the Australian Senate approved a motion tabled by right-wing senator Pauline Hanson calling on the federal government to reject CRT, despite it not being included in the curriculum.[71]
United Kingdom
In October 2020, the Conservative UK Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch stated that, in regard to teaching critical race theory in primary and secondary schools;
we do not want to see teachers teaching their pupils about white privilege and inherited racial guilt ... any school which teaches these elements of critical race theory, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law."[72]
In an open letter, 101 writers of the Black Writers' Guild denounced Badenoch for remarks about popular anti-racism books such as White Fragility and Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, made in an interview in The Spectator, in which she said, "many of these books—and, in fact, some of the authors and proponents of critical race theory—actually want a segregated society".[73]
United States
Conservative lawmakers and activists have used the term "critical race theory" as "a catchall phrase for nearly any examination of systemic racism", according to The Washington Post.[8] In September 2020, after seeing a piece on Fox News in which conservative activist Christopher Rufo denounced CRT,[74] President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing agencies of the United States federal government to cancel funding for programs that mention "white privilege" or "critical race theory", on the basis that it constituted "divisive, un-American propaganda" and that it was "racist".[75][76][77] Rufo's use of the term propelled the controversy into the mainstream; he wrote on Twitter, "The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think 'critical race theory'."[8][20][78]
In a speech on September 17, 2020, Trump denounced critical race theory and announced the formation of the 1776 Commission to promote "patriotic education".[79] On January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's order[80] and dissolved the 1776 Commission.[81] Opposition to critical race theory was subsequently adopted as a major theme by several conservative think tanks and pressure groups, including the Heritage Foundation, the Idaho Freedom Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council.[82][78]
In early 2021, bills were introduced in a number of Republican-controlled state legislatures to restrict teaching critical race theory in public schools,[83] including Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.[84] Several of these bills specifically mention "critical race theory" or single out the New York Times 1619 Project. In mid-April 2021, a bill was introduced in the Idaho legislature that would effectively ban any educational entity (including school districts, public charter schools, and public institutions of higher education) in the state from teaching or advocating "sectarianism", including critical race theory or other programs involving social justice.[85] On May 4, 2021, the bill was signed into law by Governor Brad Little.[86] On June 10, 2021, the Florida State Board of Education unanimously voted to ban public schools from teaching critical race theory at the urging of governor Ron DeSantis.[87] As of July 2021, 10 U.S. states have introduced bills or taken other steps that would restrict teaching critical race theory, and 26 others were in the process of doing so.[88][82] In June 2021, the American Association of University Professors, the American Historical Association, the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and PEN America released a joint statement stating their opposition to such legislation, and by August 2021, 167 professional organizations had signed onto the statement.[89][90]
Subfields
Within critical race theory, various sub-groupings have emerged that focus on issues and nuances that are unique to a particular ethno-racial and/or marginalized community. This can include issues that relate to the intersection of race with disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, religion and other social structures. For example, disability critical race studies (DisCrit), critical race feminism (CRF), Hebrew Crit (HebCrit), Black Critical Race Theory (Black Crit), Latino critical race studies (LatCrit),[91] Asian American critical race studies (AsianCrit), South Asian American critical race studies (DesiCrit),[92] and American Indian critical race studies (sometimes called TribalCrit). CRT methodologies have also been applied to the study of white immigrant groups.[93] CRT has spurred some scholars to call for a second wave of whiteness studies, which is now a small offshoot known as Second Wave Whiteness (SWW).[94] Critical race theory has also begun to spawn research that looks at understandings of race outside the United States.[95][96]
Disability critical race theory
Another offshoot field is disability critical race studies (DisCrit), which combines disability studies and CRT to focus on the intersection of disability and race.[97]
Latino critical race theory
Latino critical race theory (LatCRT or LatCrit) is a research framework that outlines the social construction of race as central to how people of color are constrained and oppressed in society. Race scholars developed LatCRT as a critical response to the "problem of the color line" first explained by W. E. B. Du Bois.[98] While CRT focuses on the Black–White paradigm, LatCRT has moved to consider other racial groups, mainly Chicana/Chicanos, as well as Latinos/as, Asians, Native Americans/First Nations, and women of color.
In Critical Race Counterstories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline, Tara J. Yosso discusses how the constraint of POC can be defined. Looking at the differences between Chicana/o students, the tenets that separate such individuals are:[99] the intercentricity of race and racism, the challenge of dominant ideology, the commitment to social justice, the centrality of experience knowledge, and the interdisciplinary perspective.
LatCRTs main focus is to advocate social justice for those living in marginalized communities (specifically Chicana/os), who are guided by structural arrangements that disadvantage people of color. Social institutions function as dispossessions, disenfranchisement, and discrimination over minority groups, while LatCRT seeks to give voice to those who are victimized.[98] In order to do so, LatCRT has created two common themes:
First, CRT proposes that white supremacy and racial power are maintained over time, a process that the law plays a central role in. Different racial groups lack the voice to speak in this civil society, and, as such, CRT has introduced a new critical form of expression, called the voice of color.[98] The voice of color is narratives and storytelling monologues used as devices for conveying personal racial experiences. These are also used to counter metanarratives that continue to maintain racial inequality. Therefore, the experiences of the oppressed are important aspects for developing a LatCRT analytical approach, and it has not been since the rise of slavery that an institution has so fundamentally shaped the life opportunities of those who bear the label of criminal.
Secondly, LatCRT work has investigated the possibility of transforming the relationship between law enforcement and racial power, as well as pursuing a project of achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination more broadly.[100] Its body of research is distinct from general critical race theory in that it emphasizes immigration theory and policy, language rights, and accent- and national origin-based forms of discrimination.[101] CRT finds the experiential knowledge of people of color and draws explicitly from these lived experiences as data, presenting research findings through storytelling, chronicles, scenarios, narratives, and parables.[102]
Asian critical race theory
Asian critical race theory looks at the influence of race and racism on the experiences and outcomes of Asian Americans in U.S. education, providing a foundation for discourse around the racial experiences of Asian Americans and other racially marginalized groups in education.[103] Like Latino critical race theory, Asian critical race theory is distinct from the main body of CRT in its emphasis on immigration theory and policy.[101]

비판적 인종 이론
위키백과, 우리 모두의 백과사전.
비판적 인종 이론(Critical race theory; CRT)은 비판적 이론의 적용과 인종, 법, 권력의 교차에서 사회와 문화의 비판적 점검에 초점을 둔 사회과학이다[1]
역사[편집]
비판적 인종 이론은 1970년대 중반에 몇 미국의 법학자들의 글에서 처음 드러나기 시작하였다. 데릭 벨, 알란 프리맨, 킴벌리 윌리엄스 크렌쇼, 리처드 델가도, 쉐릴 헤리스, 찰리 로랜스 3세, 마리 마스다, 패트리샤 윌리엄스등이다. 이 이론은 1980년대에 이르러 하나의 운동으로 등장하였으며, 비판적 법 연구의 재생산된 이론이 인종 문제에 집중하여 발전되었다.
주요 학자[편집]
이 이론을 발전시킨 학자는 데릭 벨, 패스리샤 윌리암스, 리처드 델가도, 킴버리 윌리엄스 크렌쇼 등이다.
주요 내용[편집]
- 백인 우월주의가 존재하며 법을 통해 권력을 유지하고 있다.
- 법과 인종의 권력간의 관계를 변화시키며, 인종적 해방과 반 종속주의를 확대하고 가능하게 만든다.
공통된 주제[편집]
- 진보주의를 비판: 이 이론의 학자들은 진보개념인 계몽주의의 합리성, 법적 평등, 헌법의 중립성, 증가주의, 인권운동의 단계적 접근방법에 의문을 갖고, 사회적 변혁에 대해 인종적인 접근을 선호한다. 또한 그들은 적극적 우대조치, 피부색 무시등을 비판한다.
- 스토리텔링 기법: 내러티브(스토리텔링)을 사용하여 인종적 핍박을 받은 경험을 자세히 다루고 연구하는 것을 말한다. 특히, 토착인디언들의 이야기가 대표적인 예이다.
- 구조적 결정론: 법적인 사고 또는 문화의 구조가 그것의 내용을 어떻게 영향을 미치는가에 대한 탐구를 말한다.
- 상호교차성: 인종, 성별, 계급, 태어난 국가, 성적지향을 조사한 뒤, 그들 간의 결합되는 것이 어떻게 다양한 형태에서 역할을 하는가를 조사, 연구한다.
백인 우월주의[편집]
백인이 갖는 특권이 사회적으로 어떻게 구성된 것인지를 논한다. 예를 들어 어느 점포에서 백인이 있을 때 따라 다니지 않는다는지, 밤에 백인을 피해 다니지 않는 것등이다.
비판[편집]
이 이론에 대해 지적하는 이유는 이 이론이 사회적 재건주의에 기초하며 증거와 이유를 스토리 텔링으로 합성하였으며, 진실의 개념을 반대하고 반대자들은 진보주의를 반대하기 때문이다.

Critical race theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of US civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to examine the intersection of race and US law and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice.[1][2][3][4] CRT examines social, cultural, and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the US.[5][6] A tenet of CRT is that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing, and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices of individuals.[7][8]
CRT originated in the mid-1970s in the writings of several American legal scholars, including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.[1] It emerged as a movement by the 1980s, reworking theories of critical legal studies (CLS) with more focus on race.[1][9] CRT is grounded in critical theory[10] and draws from thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, and W. E. B. DuBois, as well as the Black Power, Chicano, and radical feminist movements from the 1960s and 1970s.[1]
CRT scholars view race and white supremacy as an intersectional social construct[7] that advances the interests of white people[11] at the expense of persons of other races.[12][13][14] In the field of legal studies, CRT emphasizes that formally colorblind laws can still have racially discriminatory outcomes.[15] A key CRT concept is intersectionality, which emphasizes that race can intersect with other identities (such as gender and class) to produce complex combinations of power and advantage.[16]
Academic critics of CRT argue that it relies on social constructionism, elevates storytelling over evidence and reason, rejects the concepts of truth and merit, and opposes liberalism.[17][18][19]
Since 2020, conservative US lawmakers have sought to ban or restrict critical race theory instruction along with other anti‑racism programs.[8][20] Critics of these efforts say the lawmakers have poorly defined or misrepresented the tenets and importance of CRT and that the goal of the laws is to more broadly silence discussions of racism, equality, social justice, and the history of race.[21][22][23]

Definitions
Roy L. Brooks defined critical race theory in 1994 as "a collection of critical stances against the existing legal order from a race-based point of view".[24] More specifically, race is a social construct and racism is neither an individual bias nor prejudice, but rather embedded in the legal system and supplemented with policies and procedures.[25]
Richard Delgado, a co-founder of the theory, defined it in 2017 as "a collection of activists and scholars interested in studying and transforming the relationship among race, racism, and power".[26]
History
Early analyses that later consolidated into critical race theory developed in the 1970s as legal scholars, activists, and lawyers tried to understand why civil-rights-era victories had stalled and were being eroded.[27]
In the early 1980s, students of color at Harvard Law School organized protests regarding Harvard's lack of racial diversity in the curriculum, among students, and in the faculty.[28][29] These students supported professor Derrick Bell, who had resigned his position at Harvard because of what he viewed as the university's discriminatory practices.[22] Bell left Harvard in 1980 and then became the dean at University of Oregon School of Law. During his time at Harvard Law, Bell had developed new courses that studied American law through a racial lens. Harvard students of color wanted faculty of color to teach the new courses in his absence.[28][29] The university rejected student requests, responding that no sufficiently qualified black instructor existed.[30] Legal scholar Randall Kennedy writes that some students felt affronted by Harvard's choice to employ an "archetypal white liberal... in a way that precludes the development of black leadership".[31] In response, numerous students, including Kimberlé Crenshaw and Mari Matsuda, boycotted and organized to develop an "Alternative Course" using Bell's Race, Racism, and American Law (1973, 1st edition) as a core text.[32][33]
First meetings
The first formal meeting centered on critical race theory was the 1989 "New Developments in Critical Race Theory" workshop, an effort to connect the theoretical underpinnings of critical legal studies (CLS) to the day-to-day realities of American racial politics. The workshop was organized by Kimberlé Crenshaw for a retreat entitled "New Developments in Critical Race Theory" that effectively created the field. As Crenshaw states, only she, Matsuda, Gotanda, Chuck Lawrence, and a handful of others knew "that there were no new developments in critical race theory, because CRT hadn't had any old ones—it didn't exist, it was made up as a name. Sometimes you gotta fake it until you make it". Crenshaw states that critical race theorists had "discovered ourselves to be critical theorists who did race and racial justice advocates who did critical theory".[34][33] Crenshaw writes, "one might say that CRT was the offspring of a post-civil rights institutional activism that was generated and informed by an oppositionalist orientation toward racial power".[32]
One manner in which CRT diverged from CLS post-1987 was CRT's stress on the importance of race.[1] Though CLS criticized the legal system's role in generating and legitimizing oppressive social structures, it did not tend to provide alternatives. CRT scholars such as Derrick Bell and Alan Freeman argue that failure to include race and racism in its analysis prevented CLS from suggesting new directions for social transformation.[35]
The 1989 critical race theory workshop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, attended by 24 scholars of color, marked a turning point for the field. Following this meeting, scholars began publishing a higher volume of works employing critical race theory, including some that became popular among general audiences. In 1991, Patricia Williams published The Alchemy of Race and Rights, while Derrick Bell published Faces at the Bottom of the Well in 1992.[32]: 124
Spread
In 1995, pedagogical theorists Gloria Ladson-Billings and William F. Tate[further explanation needed] began applying the critical race theory framework in the field of education, moving it beyond the field of legal scholarship. They sought to better understand inequities in schooling. Scholars have since expanded work in this context to explore issues including segregation, relations between race, gender, and academic achievement, pedagogy, and research methodologies.[36]
As of 2002, over 20 American law schools and at least three non-American law schools offered critical race theory courses or classes that covered the issue.[37] In addition to law, critical race theory is taught and applied in the fields of education, political science, women's studies, ethnic studies, communication, sociology, and American studies. A variety of spin-off movements developed that apply critical race theory to specific groups. These include the Latino-critical (LatCrit), queer-critical, and Asian-critical movements. These other groups continued to engage with the main body of critical theory research, over time developing independent priorities and research methods.[38] More recently, CRT has been taught internationally, including in the United Kingdom and Australia.[39][40]
List of scholars
Principal figures of the theory include Derrick Bell, Patricia J. Williams, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Camara Phyllis Jones, Angela P. Harris, Charles Lawrence, Alan Freeman, Neil Gotanda, Mitu Gulati, Jerry Kang, Eric Yamamoto, Robert Williams, Ian Haney López, Kevin Johnson, Laura E. Gómez, Margaret Montoya, Juan Perea, Francisco Valdes, Dean Carbado, Cheryl Harris, Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Tom Ross, Stephanie Wildman, Nancy Levit, Robert Harman, Jean Stefancic, André Cummings and Mari Matsuda.[41][42]
Common themes
Common themes that are characteristic of critical race theory, as documented by scholars such as Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, include:
Critique of liberalism: Critical race theory scholars question foundational liberal concepts such as Enlightenment rationalism, legal equality and constitutional neutrality, and they challenge the incrementalist approach of traditional civil-rights discourse.[26] They favor a race-conscious approach to social transformation, critiquing liberal ideas such as affirmative action, color blindness, role modeling, or the merit principle[43] with an approach that relies more on political organizing, in contrast to liberalism's reliance on rights-based remedies.[example needed]
Storytelling, counter-storytelling, and "naming one's own reality": The use of narrative (storytelling) to illuminate and explore lived experiences of racial oppression.[44][example needed] Bryan Brayboy has emphasized the epistemic importance of storytelling in Indigenous-American communities as superseding that of theory, and has proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribCrit).[45]
Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress: Criticism of civil-rights scholarship and anti-discrimination law, such as Brown v. Board of Education. Derrick Bell, one of CRT's founders, argues that civil-rights advances for black people coincided with the self-interest of white elitists, which Bell termed interest convergence.[46][47] Likewise, Mary L. Dudziak performed extensive archival research in the U.S. Department of State and Department of Justice and concluded that U.S. government support for civil-rights legislation "was motivated in part by the concern that racial discrimination harmed the United States' foreign relations".[48][example needed]
Intersectional theory: The examination of race, sex, class, national origin, and sexual orientation, and how their combination (i.e., their intersections) plays out in various settings, e.g., how the needs of a Latina female are different from those of a black male and whose needs are the ones promoted.[49][further explanation needed]
Standpoint epistemology: The view that a member of a minority has an authority and ability to speak about racism that members of other racial groups do not have, and that this can expose the racial neutrality of law as false.[1][example needed]
Essentialism vs. anti-essentialism: Delgado and Stefancic write, "Scholars who write about these issues are concerned with the appropriate unit for analysis: Is the black community one, or many, communities? Do middle- and working-class African-Americans have different interests and needs? Do all oppressed peoples have something in common?" This is a look at the ways that oppressed groups may share in their oppression but also have different needs and values that need to be looked at differently. It is a question of how groups can be essentialized or are unable to be essentialized.[50][further explanation needed]
Structural determinism: Exploration of how "the structure of legal thought or culture influences its content", whereby a particular mode of thought or widely shared practice determines significant social outcomes, usually occurring without conscious knowledge. As such, theorists posit that our system cannot redress certain kinds of wrongs.[51][example needed]
Empathetic fallacy: Believing that one can change a narrative by offering an alternative narrative in hopes that the listener's empathy will quickly and reliably take over. Empathy is not enough to change racism as most people are not exposed to many people different from themselves and people mostly seek out information about their own culture and group.[52][example needed]
Non-white cultural nationalism/separatism: The exploration of more radical views that argue for separation and reparations as a form of foreign aid (including black nationalism).[44][example needed]
Internalization
Karen Pyke has documented the theoretical element of internalized racism or internalized racial oppression, whereby victims of racism begin to believe in the ideology that they are inferior to whites and white culture. The internalizing of racism is not due to any weakness, ignorance, inferiority, psychological defect, gullibility, or other shortcomings of the oppressed. Instead, it is how authority and power in all aspects of society contribute to feelings of inequality.[53][example needed]
Institutional racism
Camara Phyllis Jones defines institutionalized racism as
differential access to the goods, services, and opportunities of society by race. Institutionalized racism is normative, sometimes legalized and often manifests as inherited disadvantage. It is structural, having been absorbed into our institutions of custom, practice, and law, so there need not be an identifiable offender. Indeed, institutionalized racism is often evident as inaction in the face of need, manifesting itself both in material conditions and in access to power. With regard to the former, examples include differential access to quality education, sound housing, gainful employment, appropriate medical facilities, and a clean environment.[54]
Influence of critical legal studies
Critical race theory shares many intellectual commitments with critical theory, critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, and postcolonial theory. But authors like Tommy J. Curry have written that the epistemic convergences with such approaches are emphasized due to the idealist turn in critical race theory. The latter, as Curry explains, is interested in discourse (i.e., how individuals speak about race) and the theories of white Continental philosophers, over and against the structural and institutional accounts of white supremacy which were at the heart of the realist analysis of racism introduced in Derrick Bell's early works,[55][page needed] and articulated through such Black thinkers as W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Judge Robert L. Carter.[56][page needed]
Critical race theory draws on the priorities and perspectives of both critical legal studies and conventional civil rights scholarship, while also sharply contesting both of these fields. Critical race theory's theoretical elements are provided by a variety of sources. Angela P. Harris describes critical race theory as sharing "a commitment to a vision of liberation from racism through right reason" with the civil rights tradition.[57] It deconstructs some premises and arguments of legal theory and simultaneously holds that legally constructed rights are incredibly important.[58][page needed] As described by Derrick Bell, critical race theory in Harris' view is committed to "radical critique of the law (which is normatively deconstructionist) and... radical emancipation by the law (which is normatively reconstructionist)".[59]
Applications
Scholars of critical race theory have focused, with some particularity, on the issues of hate crime and hate speech. In response to the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court in the hate speech case of R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul (1992), in which the Court struck down an anti-bias ordinance as applied to a teenager who had burned a cross, Mari Matsuda and Charles Lawrence argued that the Court had paid insufficient attention to the history of racist speech and the actual injury produced by such speech.[60]
Critical race theorists have also argued in favor of affirmative action. They propose that so-called merit standards for hiring and educational admissions are not race-neutral and that such standards are part of the rhetoric of neutrality through which whites justify their disproportionate share of resources and social benefits.[61]
Criticism
Academic
Law professors Daniel A. Farber and Suzanna Sherry argue that critical race theory lacks supporting evidence, relies on an implausible belief that reality is socially constructed, rejects evidence in favor of storytelling, rejects truth and merit as expressions of political dominance, and rejects the rule of law.[17] Farber and Sherry additionally posit that anti-meritocratic tenets in critical race theory, critical feminism, and critical legal studies may unintentionally lead to antisemitic and anti-Asian implications.[62][63] They suggest that the success of Jews and Asians within what critical race theorists argue is a structurally unfair system may lend itself to allegations of cheating, advantage-taking, or other such claims. Responses to Farber and Sherry published in the Harvard Law Review[64] argue that there is a difference between criticizing an unfair system and criticizing individuals who perform well inside that system.[17][64]
In a 1999 Boston College Law Review article titled Race, Equality and the Rule of Law: Critical Race Theory's Attack on the Promises of Liberalism, First Amendment lawyer Jeffrey J. Pyle argued that critical race theory undermined confidence in the rule of law. He wrote that "critical race theorists attack the very foundations of the liberal legal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law".[65]
Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals argued in 1997 that critical race theory "turns its back on the Western tradition of rational inquiry, forswearing analysis for narrative" and that "by repudiating reasoned argumentation, [critical race theorists] reinforce stereotypes about the intellectual capacities of nonwhites."[18] Former Judge Alex Kozinski, who served on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, criticized critical race theorists in 1997 for raising "insuperable barriers to mutual understanding" and thus eliminating opportunities for "meaningful dialogue".[66]
Political controversies
Critical race theory has stirred controversy in the United States since the 1980s for critiquing color blindness, promoting the use of narrative in legal studies, advocating "legal instrumentalism" as opposed to ideal-driven uses of the law, analyzing the U.S. Constitution and existing law as constructed according to and perpetuating racial power, and encouraging legal scholars to promote racial equity.[1] An example of an instrumentalist approach is attorney Johnnie Cochran's defense in the O. J. Simpson murder case, in which Cochran urged the jury to acquit Simpson in spite of the evidence against him—a form of jury nullification as payback for the United States' racist past.[1] In the run-up to and aftermath of the 2020 US presidential election, opposition to critical race theory was adopted as a campaign theme by Donald Trump and various conservative commentators on Fox News and right-wing talk radio shows.[22]
1990s
Lani Guinier, Bill Clinton's nominee for Assistant Attorney General, was attacked by Republicans in part for her association with CRT, in an attempt to block her nomination.[22] These attacks ultimately proved successful, since Clinton quickly withdrew her nomination on June 4, 1993, on the basis of disagreements with her legal philosophy.[67]
2010s
In 2010, a Mexican-American studies program in Tucson, Arizona, was halted because of a state law forbidding public schools from offering race-conscious education in the form of "advocat[ing] ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals".[68] Certain books, including a primer on CRT, were banned from the curriculum.[68] Matt de la Peña's young-adult novel Mexican WhiteBoy was banned for "containing 'critical race theory'" according to state officials.[69] The ban on ethnic-studies programs was later deemed unconstitutional on the grounds that the state showed discriminatory intent: "Both enactment and enforcement were motivated by racial animus", federal Judge A. Wallace Tashima ruled.[70]
2020s
Australia
In June 2021, following media reports that the proposed national curriculum was "preoccupied with the oppression, discrimination and struggles of Indigenous Australians", the Australian Senate approved a motion tabled by right-wing senator Pauline Hanson calling on the federal government to reject CRT, despite it not being included in the curriculum.[71]
United Kingdom
In October 2020, the Conservative UK Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch stated that, in regard to teaching critical race theory in primary and secondary schools;
we do not want to see teachers teaching their pupils about white privilege and inherited racial guilt ... any school which teaches these elements of critical race theory, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law."[72]
In an open letter, 101 writers of the Black Writers' Guild denounced Badenoch for remarks about popular anti-racism books such as White Fragility and Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, made in an interview in The Spectator, in which she said, "many of these books—and, in fact, some of the authors and proponents of critical race theory—actually want a segregated society".[73]
United States
Conservative lawmakers and activists have used the term "critical race theory" as "a catchall phrase for nearly any examination of systemic racism", according to The Washington Post.[8] In September 2020, after seeing a piece on Fox News in which conservative activist Christopher Rufo denounced CRT,[74] President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing agencies of the United States federal government to cancel funding for programs that mention "white privilege" or "critical race theory", on the basis that it constituted "divisive, un-American propaganda" and that it was "racist".[75][76][77] Rufo's use of the term propelled the controversy into the mainstream; he wrote on Twitter, "The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think 'critical race theory'."[8][20][78]
In a speech on September 17, 2020, Trump denounced critical race theory and announced the formation of the 1776 Commission to promote "patriotic education".[79] On January 20, 2021, President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's order[80] and dissolved the 1776 Commission.[81] Opposition to critical race theory was subsequently adopted as a major theme by several conservative think tanks and pressure groups, including the Heritage Foundation, the Idaho Freedom Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council.[82][78]
In early 2021, bills were introduced in a number of Republican-controlled state legislatures to restrict teaching critical race theory in public schools,[83] including Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.[84] Several of these bills specifically mention "critical race theory" or single out the New York Times 1619 Project. In mid-April 2021, a bill was introduced in the Idaho legislature that would effectively ban any educational entity (including school districts, public charter schools, and public institutions of higher education) in the state from teaching or advocating "sectarianism", including critical race theory or other programs involving social justice.[85] On May 4, 2021, the bill was signed into law by Governor Brad Little.[86] On June 10, 2021, the Florida State Board of Education unanimously voted to ban public schools from teaching critical race theory at the urging of governor Ron DeSantis.[87] As of July 2021, 10 U.S. states have introduced bills or taken other steps that would restrict teaching critical race theory, and 26 others were in the process of doing so.[88][82] In June 2021, the American Association of University Professors, the American Historical Association, the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and PEN America released a joint statement stating their opposition to such legislation, and by August 2021, 167 professional organizations had signed onto the statement.[89][90]
Subfields
Within critical race theory, various sub-groupings have emerged that focus on issues and nuances that are unique to a particular ethno-racial and/or marginalized community. This can include issues that relate to the intersection of race with disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, religion and other social structures. For example, disability critical race studies (DisCrit), critical race feminism (CRF), Hebrew Crit (HebCrit), Black Critical Race Theory (Black Crit), Latino critical race studies (LatCrit),[91] Asian American critical race studies (AsianCrit), South Asian American critical race studies (DesiCrit),[92] and American Indian critical race studies (sometimes called TribalCrit). CRT methodologies have also been applied to the study of white immigrant groups.[93] CRT has spurred some scholars to call for a second wave of whiteness studies, which is now a small offshoot known as Second Wave Whiteness (SWW).[94] Critical race theory has also begun to spawn research that looks at understandings of race outside the United States.[95][96]
Disability critical race theory
Another offshoot field is disability critical race studies (DisCrit), which combines disability studies and CRT to focus on the intersection of disability and race.[97]
Latino critical race theory
Latino critical race theory (LatCRT or LatCrit) is a research framework that outlines the social construction of race as central to how people of color are constrained and oppressed in society. Race scholars developed LatCRT as a critical response to the "problem of the color line" first explained by W. E. B. Du Bois.[98] While CRT focuses on the Black–White paradigm, LatCRT has moved to consider other racial groups, mainly Chicana/Chicanos, as well as Latinos/as, Asians, Native Americans/First Nations, and women of color.
In Critical Race Counterstories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline, Tara J. Yosso discusses how the constraint of POC can be defined. Looking at the differences between Chicana/o students, the tenets that separate such individuals are:[99] the intercentricity of race and racism, the challenge of dominant ideology, the commitment to social justice, the centrality of experience knowledge, and the interdisciplinary perspective.
LatCRTs main focus is to advocate social justice for those living in marginalized communities (specifically Chicana/os), who are guided by structural arrangements that disadvantage people of color. Social institutions function as dispossessions, disenfranchisement, and discrimination over minority groups, while LatCRT seeks to give voice to those who are victimized.[98] In order to do so, LatCRT has created two common themes:
First, CRT proposes that white supremacy and racial power are maintained over time, a process that the law plays a central role in. Different racial groups lack the voice to speak in this civil society, and, as such, CRT has introduced a new critical form of expression, called the voice of color.[98] The voice of color is narratives and storytelling monologues used as devices for conveying personal racial experiences. These are also used to counter metanarratives that continue to maintain racial inequality. Therefore, the experiences of the oppressed are important aspects for developing a LatCRT analytical approach, and it has not been since the rise of slavery that an institution has so fundamentally shaped the life opportunities of those who bear the label of criminal.
Secondly, LatCRT work has investigated the possibility of transforming the relationship between law enforcement and racial power, as well as pursuing a project of achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination more broadly.[100] Its body of research is distinct from general critical race theory in that it emphasizes immigration theory and policy, language rights, and accent- and national origin-based forms of discrimination.[101] CRT finds the experiential knowledge of people of color and draws explicitly from these lived experiences as data, presenting research findings through storytelling, chronicles, scenarios, narratives, and parables.[102]
Asian critical race theory
Asian critical race theory looks at the influence of race and racism on the experiences and outcomes of Asian Americans in U.S. education, providing a foundation for discourse around the racial experiences of Asian Americans and other racially marginalized groups in education.[103] Like Latino critical race theory, Asian critical race theory is distinct from the main body of CRT in its emphasis on immigration theory and policy.[101]
