Teaching Solidarity - Critical Race Reading

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

Critical race theory (CRT) has been singled out for banning in 49 US states and been subject to a flurry of legislative acts surveilling its teaching in all levels of education. Malini Schueller argues that this is fueled by a fear of racial solidarity.

To combat this, this book argues for a practice of critical race reading and activism. 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.
