Announcing: Racial Capitalism
As a journal dedicated to social, racial, and economic justice, the Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development (JCRED) is soliciting articles for Racial Capitalism: An Elaboration in Legal Scholarship, our forthcoming symposium issue. This issue will explore the legal dimensions of our capitalist political economy and its systemically racist nature. We find that the multiple crises experienced in the United States today are uniquely driven by our capitalist system in which racism—anti-Black and anti-indigenous racism in particular—compounds economic, class-based oppression. We also see an opportunity for broader articulation and analysis of Racial Capitalism within legal scholarship.
