“Backtalker”: Kimberlé Crenshaw on New Memoir, Voting Rights, Critical Race Theory & Clarence Thomas

Leading scholar in the field of critical race theory Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term “intersectionality,” which she has described as a “lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects.” Crenshaw, a professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University and executive director of the African American Policy Forum, has just published a new book, Backtalker: An American Memoir. “Backtalker is a frame that I use to encourage people to talk back against claims that the world as we have experienced it is the way it can only be, that there is no reason to continue to advocate for change,” says Crenshaw. She also discusses the Supreme Court’s recent gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the sociopolitical environment that allowed for Clarence Thomas to be appointed to the Supreme Court despite Anita Hill’s claims of sexual harassment against him.

1989 Crenshaw popularized "intersectionality" in her essay "Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Anti-discrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory, and Antiracist Politics" as a way to help explain the oppression of African-American women

Our editor Deirdre Anne Hendrick's M.A. thesis, "Citing Silences: Finding a History 'Outside' the Archive," is available open access on PhilArchive. It argues that silences produced by Euro-Western historiography in the service of white supremacy can be cited in ways that force the archive to acknowledge its own violence — developing the concept of the "hauntological irrealis" through Trouillot, Derrida, Butler, and Hartman.

“Hence, it can be said that the main aim of CRT [ #CriticalRaceTheory ] is not to develop a coherent, methodologically flawless theoretical framework, but in some ways it is rather an academic political enterprise.”
—Möschel 2019, p. 65.

And just like that, Republicans completely forgot about America's number one problem: Critical Race Theory.

I think it's been well over a year since I heard a single Republican mention CRT! It's almost like it wasn't an issue to begin with.

@gottalaff.bsky.social That is why #Democrats lost the election. They talked about every tom-dick-and-harry nonsensical stuff but this. #Bill #Clinton said, Its the economy stupid.

I hope that #Democrats learn this and so do the #republicans. It is affordability, it is cost of living, it is wage disinflation. Not #LGBTQ rights. Not #Gaza. Not #DEI. Talk and work on #LGBTQ, #Gaza, #DEI, #CriticalRaceTheory, #TaxBreakForRich as much as one wants but ONLY after the main thing.

Hommage à Fobazi Ettarh (1989-2026)

Podcast Deux connards dans un bibliobus

Bon ce début d'année 2026 pue la merde… Et à côté de la sidération de la montée du fascisme qu'on voit grimper chaque jour davantage, il y a les pertes qui nous touchent personnellement. On a appris le décès de Fobazi Ettarh il y a quelques jours et il nous a semblé important de rendre hommage à son travail qui nous a tant marqué.
