Critical Race Theory and the Presence of Concept of Race in the Past and Current Educational Debates in the United States
Abstract
The concept of race seems to be, despite the efforts of various political
movements of 1960’s still present in the public life and education in the
Unites States. Contemporary educational debates in America in most cases
tackle this problem through the lenses of a specific research approach which
takes the concept of race as granted, when examining social relations in the
American society. This approach, generally called Critical Race Theory (CRT)
had been established in the late 1980’s, but its theoretical, methodological
and political roots go back to the decade of the Vietnam War and the assassination
of Martin Luther King or even further. This paper makes an attempt
to deliver a closer look at the CRT and to highlight its most important assumptions
and forms of political actions undertaken within the common
frame of the racial concept. The Boasian tradition in the American way of
conceptualization of race is an important factor in this debate. The past and
present educational debates in the USA prove the fact that the idea of race
is undergoing nowadays an intensive shift from its biological basis towards
economic and social differences making the new conflicts even more visible
in the American political landscape today.
