Chapter 2: Extensions of Intersectionality Theory from Critical Race Analyses: A Framework of Coalitions for Interrogating Race and Racism in Social Studies Education

The implications of social location and history trace whiteness as a considerable price reproduced in the wake of power, subjugation, and brutality. Consequentially, critical paradigms aim to formulate in-depth analyses on whiteness with the culminating aim of unsettling and interrupting systems of power connected to the problematic power chartered to whiteness. Illustrated in tandem with the evolution of social studies education, this chapter highlights the distinct analytical lens of critical race theory (CRT) and, more importantly, intersectionality theory to broaden the scope and angle of pedagogy and praxis centered towards equity and action while deconstructing social structures embedded in whiteness.
