In accessible terms, they then provide a framework for understanding how and why structural racism thrives in the present: in systematic racial profiling, the school-to-prison pipeline, housing segregation, and widespread \"implicit bias.\" Arguing that there is no magic bullet, no one-size-fits-all solution to racial injustice, \u003ci\u003eThe Race Track\u003c\/i\u003e champions an \"intersectional\" path--pioneered by Kimberlé Crenshaw--one that will appeal to people of all races who want to know how to speak the language of racial justice in an environment where many stubbornly claim we have already achieved it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKimberle Crenshaw is a professor of law at UCLA and Columbia Law School and a co-editor of \"Critical Race Theory\" (The New Press).
