Reihe: American Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present

A call for critical race reading as a step towards creating progressive and democratic politics.

Critical race theory (CRT) has been targeted for bans in forty-nine US states and subjected to a flurry of legislative acts surveilling its teaching at all levels of education. Malini Johar Schueller argues that this censorship and scrutiny is fueled by a fear of racial solidarity.This book asserts that a practice of critical race reading and activism is the way to combat the attacks on racial justice teaching. Teaching in Florida, the epicenter and catalyst of these harsh rebukes of CRT, Schueller challenges students to awaken to questions of racial privilege and hierarchy not through comfortable racial identification but through racial reckoning. Complete with a syllabus that any reader can learn from, Teaching Solidarity models critical ways of reading for social justice.
