Counterstory, 2nd Edition (The Rhetoric and Writing of Critical Race Theory)

The first edition of Counterstory was award-winning and pathbreaking. In 2020, mere months before President Trump’s executive order banned critical race theory (CRT) nationally, Aja Y. Martinez made a case for counterstory as a central methodology of CRT. This second edition of Counterstory confirms Martinez’s argument by engaging in new research from the archive of CRT founder Derrick Bell. 

In this edition, CRT’s foundational method is established as an essential tool for marginalized voices. It features a new foreword and afterword (respectively) by CRT luminaries Daniel G. Solórzano and Jean Stefancic, a post-2020 prologue and epilogue by the author, revised appendixes with lesson plans and syllabi, undergraduate student counterstory examples, and more. 

Martinez provides instructional and inspirational examples of how CRT theories and methods can inform teaching, research, and writing in challenging times. CCCC Studies in Writing & Rhetoric Series.
