The idea that racism is resistant to laws meant to end it originated in academia a generation ago. Itβs become more mainstream since the murder of George Floyd and the protests that followed. How helpful is this way of thinking about race in America?
In this episode we assess how the debate on race is changing with historian Yohuru Williams; find out how "Critical Race Theory" entered the culture wars; and speak to KimberlΓ© Crenshaw, one of its leading scholars.
John Prideaux hosts with Idrees Kahloon and Jon Fasman.
