Critical Race Studies in Psychology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Social Psychology

Abstract

This chapter outlines Critical Race Psychology (CRP) as a theoretical framework that integrates the main themes articulated in critical race theory and critical social-psychological approaches to understanding race and racism. Critical race studies in psychology dispel the idea that racism is primarily perpetuated by individual bigots and racists and instead looks toward the everyday beliefs, justifications, ideas, and behaviors that are inextricably tied to the broader sociocultural and historical context of globalized systemic inequality. Drawing from several critical approaches in psychology, CRP utilizes identity consciousness as a tool to reveal the sociocultural and psychological resources holding current societal structures in place.

Notes

  1. 1.

    With the exception of Black Americans (see Study 5 of Devos & Banaji, 2005), White, Latino, and Asian Americans alike showed the American = White effect (Devos & Banaji, 2005; Devos, Gavin, & Quintana, 2010).

  2. 2.

    For example, among other contested changes, Texas State Board of Education’s textbook curricula changes included amendments deleting a requirement that sociology students explain how institutional racism is evident in American society, deleting Dolores Huerta, cofounder of United Farm Workers of America, from lists of historical figures who exemplified good citizenship, and rejecting inclusion of specific Tejano defenders at the Battle at the Alamo (McKinley, 2010).
