Extending BlackCrit: Reframing the Black/White Paradigm toward Implicating People of Color in anti-Blackness in Education

In this article we seek to build upon the work of Dumas and ross (2016) and their articulation of the need for a BlackCrit theory in education. Our conceptual development aims to trouble the lack of deliberate indictment of non-Black People of Color and Black people with their connection to and perpetuation of anti-Blackness. We offer a reframe of the troubled Black-White binary and suggest a Black-White continuum, which keeps People of Color engaged in the anti-Blackness discourse and has important implications for educational research and praxis. With this work, we hope scholars and educational researchers find new framing and language to explore inquiry and teach topics related to Blackness and anti-Blackness.
