Deep dives
Understanding Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory
Critical theory serves as a framework for understanding how power influences societal structures, while critical race theory (CRT) specifically examines racial dynamics within these frameworks. CRT emerged to address the perceived inadequacies of traditional racial theories that suggested equality could be achieved simply through legal reforms. Advocates argue for a critical lens that recognizes ongoing disparities faced by marginalized racial groups and seeks to explain why social justice efforts may fall short despite legislative successes. This analysis often highlights historical and systemic factors that have perpetuated inequality, emphasizing the importance of viewing social issues through a racial perspective.
