Unpacking the New Racial Regime

This chapter investigates the repercussions of the 2020 racial reckoning following George Floyd's killing, critiquing political responses and superficial gestures aimed at addressing racial injustice. It explores the evolution of a 'new racial regime' shaped by historical oppression, contemporary state violence, and societal perceptions of race, while framing race as a critical factor in societal power dynamics. The discussion highlights the complexities surrounding race, capitalism, and educational narratives that perpetuate systemic inequality and resist genuine change.
