What is it about?
This paper examines the development of Critical Race Theory in Britain. It places CRT in the historical context of black British intellectual and education movements since the 1950s. What might CRT offer to black and anti-racist thought and activism in Britain? What are the implications of the transfer of CRT to the British context?

Why is it important?
This was the first paper to consider Critical Race Theory in the full context of black British political, intellectual and educational history.
Perspectives
The paper draws on my work in black and anti-racist education since the 1980s. Part of my aim was to foreground black British intellectuals and educators as equals to their better known US counterparts.
