ABSTRACT
Critical Race Theory (CRT) and CRP scholars do not claim to be purveyors of the holy grail to race scholarship. In order to promote accountable, responsible, and transparent research, the concern of the critically conscious justice-minded scholar should be to make their most sincere effort to engage their work as an act of solidarity instead of charity. Co-joined with the ever-present realities of class, gender, and ability dynamics in the United States, the tenets of CRT resonated deeply with the author by offering the idea that racism was endemic to daily life, and there is a unique voice of those who have been marginalized in relationship to the mainstream status quo. Yamamoto suggests critical race praxis should “signal the continual rebuilding of theory in light of the practical experiences of racial groups engaged in particular antiracist struggles, the recasting the conceptual, performative, and material aspects of race praxis”.
