Critical Race Theory emerged in the mid-1970s and has its origins in the Legal Critical Studies and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s in the U.S. Legal scholars scrutinized how law upheld the white privilege, regarding race, gender, class, and social justice, rather than following the principles of law. Critical Race Theory also draws from critical theory, post-colonialism, continental social, and political philosophy, and feminism, which in turn, gave rise to Critical Race Feminism; LatCrit; AsianCrit; and Queer RaceCrit theories. This paper gives an overview and discusses the evolution of Critical Race Theory: its basic premise; the main themes; and some notable fiction and non-fiction works that operationalize the theory. Finally, it concludes that Critical Race Theory may be a specific framework meant particularly for Afro-American Studies in the U.S. but it can be appropriated and used as a methodological and theoretical tool kit for inquiry in any geographical and literary context.
