Derrick Bell  

Definition

  • Derrick Bell is widely regarded as providing the conceptual basis for critical race theory, a legal theoretical perspective grounded in the historical and social experiences of racial groups in the United States. Bell's contribution to the genesis of critical race theory is derived from using race as an intellectual and methodological approach to explain racism and social inequity.
