A review by aanderson5206
Critical Race Theory, An Introduction by Richard Delgado
Honestly, I almost didn't post that I was reading this book on Goodreads. The topic is so divisive. But I realized there was a huge problem with that -- our society is unilaterally affirming or condemning CRT, most of us without ever studying it. It's irresponsible to chose a side without being informed, and everything I see from both sides of the media stinks of propaganda.
Add to this that I was assigned to this book in seminary, and the scandal grows. Evangelical Christians are the biggest critics (no pun intended) of CRT, most of them without even reading CRT or being able to truly describe its tenants. This was the point of the assignment -- that we as leaders in the church must actually engage with the ideas of the world before we condemn them, seeking theological implications and what we can learn from those outside the church walls.
I’ll update this review when I’ve finished reading and had my class discussion.
