I've heard a lot of resistance to critical race theory (CRT) in recent years without knowing too much about it. Yet, it the last several years, I've had a growing desire to study both sides of many issues - and I think I could say, especially the issues in the evangelical church that seem to have an attached narrative to them. I'm finally started to dig into CRT, and I look forward to studying it more. At this point in my study, it bothers me that there has been so much opposition to CRT. Not because I agree with everything I've learned, but because what I am learning of CRT is that it is a needful conversation.
Victor Ray's book is a short overview of CRT, and I like that about it. It raises the key issues with clarity get's the conversation going. Due to my other reading in the last couple years, it doesn't necessarily feel like I learned anything knew; however, I still feel like it is an important contribution to my studies due to the aforementioned reasons.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
