CHAPTER

Utopia, Racism, and Consciousness

This chapter explores the themes in 'Race, Time, and Utopia,' focusing on the intersection of racial domination and hope within critical race theory. Through the lens of historical figures like W.E.B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon, it examines the impact of contemporary social movements, particularly in light of the George Floyd protests, on our understanding of systemic injustice. The discussion highlights the need for coherent actions that align with a deeper crisis consciousness, moving beyond mere awareness toward meaningful change and a reshaped societal structure.
