Sapelo Square and Maydan have collaborated to publish “The Great Debate: Critical Race Theory and Muslims,” a series of essays that examine Critical Race Theory through the lens of Black Muslims and Black Muslim communities in the United States. We envisioned this series as both a response to heated public debates about the merits of Critical Race Theory and as an examination of the discourse around race, racism and social politics in Muslim spaces, or the lack thereof. Thank you to Dr. Youssef Carter, Stephen Jamal Leeper and Dr. Kayla Wheeler for taking this journey with us.
