We have also seen a sharp backlash against Critical Race Theory, and a president who deemed racism a thing of the past while he fanned the flames of racial intolerance and promoted nativist sentiments among his followers. Now more than ever, the racial disparities in all aspects of\u003cbr\u003epublic life are glaringly obvious. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking note of all these developments, this fourth edition covers a range of new topics and events and addresses the rise of a fierce wave of criticism from right-wing websites, think tanks, and foundations, some of which insist that America is now colorblind and has little use for racial analysis and study. Award-winning authors Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic also address the rise in legislative efforts to curtail K-12 teaching of racial history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCritical Race Theory, Fourth Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, is essential for understanding developments in this burgeoning field, which has spread to other disciplines and countries.
