Daniel Farber and Suzanna Sherry have argued that critical race theory, along with critical feminism and critical legal studies, has anti-Semitic and anti-Asian implications, has worked to undermine notions of democratic community, and has impeded dialogue.

Karen Pyke documents the theoretical element of internalized racism or internalized racial oppression , whereby victims of racism begin to believe in the ideology that they are inferior to white people and white culture, who are superior. Harris and Gloria Ladson-Billings describe this notion of whiteness as property , whereby whiteness is the ultimate property that whites alone can possess; valuable just like property. These liberal values, they allege, have no enduring basis in principle, but are mere social constructs calculated to legitimate white supremacy.

Different racial groups lack the voice to speak in this civil society , and, as such, CRT has introduced a new critical form of expressions, called the voice of color.

Critics, including Richard Posner and Alex Kozinski , take issue with the very foundation of the foundations of CRT in postmodernism and reliance on moral relativism , social constructionism , and other tenets contrary to individual freedom and classical liberalism.

Recent developments in critical race theory include work relying on updated social psychological research on unconscious bias in order to justify affirmative action ; and work relying on law and economic methodology to examine structural inequality and discrimination in the workplace. Tyson, Lois Critical race theorists have also paid particular attention to the issue of affirmative action , whereby scholars have argued in favor of such on the argument that so-called merit standards for hiring and educational admissions are not race- neutral for a variety of reasons, and that such standards are part of the rhetoric of neutrality through which whites justify their disproportionate share of resources and social benefits.

WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

  • COMPASSION and CRITIQUE Angela P. Harris*
    COMPASSION AND CRITIQUE Angela P. Harris* INTRODUCTION Where does compassion begin? Perhaps with the experience of caring. Caring happens in the body and in the moment: a quick squirt of oxytocin, a firing of mirror neurons, the sudden perception of a link between the so- called self and the so-called other. Caring is unpredictable and unwilled, a reaction, an eruption along the shifting surfaces between you and not-you, suddenly experienced in the “flinching of an eye.” Kathleen Stewart describes an observer’s emotional reaction to the pain of another: The young miner who showed me the mine put out every cigarette he smoked on his hand, which was covered with scar tissue. Then I saw the other young miners all had the backs of their hands covered with scar tissue . when my eye fell on them it flinched, seeing the burning cigarette being crushed and sensing the pain . The eye does not read the meaning in a sign; it jumps from the mark to the pain and the burning cigarette, and then jumps to the fraternity signaled by * Professor of Law, University of California—Davis (King Hall). Although the participants in this Symposium were instructed to reflect on race and Marxism, I found myself reflecting instead on the work of the Symposium’s organizer, Anthony Paul Farley. His classic treatment of the pleasures of anti-black racism, The Black Body as Fetish-Object, 76 OR. L. REV. 457 (1997), continues to instruct all who read it, and his writing and speaking—laced always with compassion and outrage—reminds me to watch out and take care.

  • Towards a Unified Theory Analysing Workplace Ideologies: Marxism And
    Marxism and Racial Oppression: Towards a Unified Theory Charles Post (City University of New York) Half a century ago, the revival of the womens movementsecond wave feminismforced the revolutionary left and Marxist theory to revisit the Womens Question. As historical materialists in the 1960s and 1970s grappled with the relationship between capitalism, class and gender, two fundamental positions emerged. The dominant response was dual systems theory. Beginning with the historically correct observation that male domination predates the emergence of the capitalist mode of production, these theorists argued that contemporary gender oppression could only be comprehended as the result of the interaction of two separate systemsa patriarchal system of gender domination and the capitalist mode of production. The alternative approach emerged from the debates on domestic labor and the predominantly privatized character of the social reproduction of labor-power under capitalism. In 1979, Lise Vogel synthesized an alternative unitary approach that rooted gender oppression in the tensions between the increasingly socialized character of (most) commodity production and the essentially privatized character of the social reproduction of labor-power. Today, dual-systems theory has morphed into intersectionality where distinct systems of class, gender, sexuality and race interact to shape oppression, exploitation and identity. This paper attempts to begin the construction of an outline of a unified theory of race and capitalism. The paper begins by critically examining two Marxian approaches. On one side are those like Ellen Meiksins Wood who argued that capitalism is essentially color-blind and can reproduce itself without racial or gender oppression. On the other are those like David Roediger and Elizabeth Esch who argue that only an intersectional analysis can allow historical materialists to grasp the relationship of capitalism and racial oppression.

    71 5 LITTLE PINK White fragility and black social death ylvA HAbel Human Life is dependent on black death for its existence and for its con- ceptual coherence. There is no World without blacks, yet there are no blacks who are in the World. The Black is indeed a sentient being, but the constric- tion of Humanist thought is a constitutive disavowal of blackness as social death; a disavowal that theorizes the Black as a degraded human entity. (Wilderson, 2016) Drawing on the intellectual work of afro- pessimist scholars such as Frank B. Wilderson III, I want to elucidate the ways in which blackness and black life have become contested, unfathomable ‘objects’ in Swedish mainstream media debates. I locate my discussion at the interface between those debates, afro- pessimist legacies and my position as a black film and media scholar before, during, and after the release of the animated children’s film Liten Skär och Alla Små Brokiga [Little Pink and The Motley Crew] (Stina Wirsén, Sweden, 2012). My aim is to examine the ways in which the film’s pickaninny figure, Little Heart, and the hurtfulness of this stereotype were discussed and contested in the debate around the film. I argue that the debate ended up producing a sense of white fragility as a priority instead of dealing with anti- black racism, its consequences for black people, and its ongoing main- tenance through representation. Before I delve into the turbulent reception of the film, let me first begin by saying something about the partly auto- ethnographical point of departure for this text.
