Lecture 5: What is Critical Race Theory and How Does it Apply to Antiracism?

What is Critical Race Theory and how does it apply to Anti-Racism? In this presentation Johnson clears away the lies and confusion surrounding CRT and sets down an introductory overview of CRT. He explains the historical and political development and meaning of CRT as a theory and its relationship to anti-racism.

Furthermore, Johnson explains the relationship that links Bell’s ‘Critical Race Theory’ to Garvey’s ‘Race First Philosophy’. He shows how Critical Race Theory (CRT) offers a radical lens through which to understand, deconstruct and challenge the permanence of ‘racial inequality’ in ‘white’ societies.
