Cutting Edge,

This review is from: Critical Race Theory 2Nd Ed (Hardcover)
My class used this book as a text and resource in a course on Advanced Torts. While only sections of the book were assigned, I grew so interested in the subject matter that I read most of the rest on my own.The editors have collected some of the most outstanding texts in this area and compiled them for reference. Included are sections on critical feminism, queer issues, intergroup relations, the black-white binary, and crime issues. The top writers in the field are all included, such as Derrick Bell and Richard Delgado. While the book is easy to use, none of the texts are easy but rather are challenging of deeply-held ideas and ideals. As critical race and gender studies continue to proliferate in undergraduate colleges and law schools, I am sure that this text will recieve a great deal more attention. It is certainly a worthy and thought-provoking read.

This review is from: Critical Race Theory 2Nd Ed (Paperback)
the cutting edge is a great introduction to critical race theory if you have never really read anything about it. It has many essays that give you a good survey of the different writers that are out there from a variety of perspectives. For those of you doing dissertation writing, this is a great resource to get a "quick and dirty" look at CRT.

By "lawbrat311" (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Race Theory 2Nd Ed (Paperback)
This is an excellent array of essays and articles from the legal genre of Critical Race Theory. I recommend reading Kimberle Crenshaw's Critical Race Theory: A Reader to begin with. This would be part 2 so to speak. After that, I would recommend reading the following: Devon Carbado's Black Men on Race, Gender and Sexuality; Adrien Wing's Critical Race Feminism and Global Critical Race Feminism; and of course, last but not least anything and everything by Derrick Bell.
