Media Reviews
Critical Race Studies Across Disciplines further bolsters the academic and practical utility of critical race theory in understanding the real-world implications of systemic oppression throughout the world. Scholars and the public will be drawn to the compelling arguments for and evidence of CRT's essential role of 'scholactivism' in redressing racial inequities ingrained in every aspect of life in the U. S. and beyond. This book is a 'must read' and 'must do.' -- Tina M. Harris, Louisiana State University
Critical Race Studies Across Disciplines: Resisting Racism through Scholactivism is an invaluable text that advances a complex analysis of what drives the persistence of US racial injustice. It builds upon long-standing critical theories and real-lived accountsthat emerge from and inform the evolution of African American culture in its communal quest for social justice. Chism et al have love-crafted an anthology that merits becoming a landmark in the burgeoning field of critical race theory. What other normative accounts of history in various academic disciplines discount and disregard, this text lays bare for all to see and comprehend. In so doing, it counters and corrects the colorblind rhetoric, racial inequities, and racial dissension that make up the study of these yet to be united states of America. -- Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas, Vanderbilt University
