In 2001, Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic published their
definitive Critical Race Theory, a
compact introduction to the field that explained, in straightforward language,
the origins, principal themes, leading voices, and new directions of this
important movement in legal thought. Since then, critical race theory has gone on to influence numerous other
fields of scholarship, and the Delgado and Stefancic primer has remained an
indispensible guide for students and teachers.


Delgado and Stefancic have revised the book to include
material on key issues such as colorblind jurisprudence, Latino-Critical
scholarship, immigration, and the rollback of affirmative action. This second edition introduces readers to
important new voices in fields outside of law, including education and
psychology, and offers greatly expanded issues for discussion, updated reading
lists, and an extensive glossary of terms.
