We write this letter in response to substance-less attacks on ‘critical race theory’ by politicians and media figures in Australia. These attacks are tantamount to an attack on anti-racism itself. On 21 June 2021, a motion was introduced to the Australian Senate that called for the Government to reject critical race theory (CRT) from the national education curriculum. That motion was carried with support of members of the sitting Coalition Government. The former Prime Minister, John Howard, added fuel to the raging culture war when he asserted live on ABC TV: ‘I don’t think there is underlying racism in Australia.’

The signatories of this letter stand in opposition to these attacks by public office holders and public figures. Such attacks are dangerous in a number of ways:

* they have the effect of legitimising racism in a settler colonial society and insulating it from critique;
* they are a coordinated attack on principles of anti-racism;
* they place limits on democratic forms of speech and attack the right to protest;
* they seek to erode the principle of academic freedom

We stand in opposition to the amplification of moral panic over critical race theory, and assert the value of anti-racist action, research, and pedagogy.

It is clear to us that attacks on critical race theory are motivated by an anxiety over collective anti-racist mass movements that have forcefully asserted challenges to white supremacy and settler colonialism. Specifically, these attacks have gathered force following the unprecedented global antiracist mobilisations that followed the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020. In the Australian context, these mobilisations have continued the ongoing resistance against First Nations deaths in custody. The attacks cannot be separated from the undermining of Indigenous people’s struggles against colonialism and attendant racial domination and discrimination, as well as the devaluation of Indigenous knowledges. We stand in solidarity with anti-racist movements that seek to dismantle the structures and systems that reproduce and uphold racism and oppression.

Understanding how race is constructed, and more importantly the political function of race, is crucial if we are to intervene in racism. The challenge of understanding race is that it is produced by ascriptive actions that, when repeated, come to appear as if they are fixed and stable characteristics. Race emerges from constantly shifting processes of racialisation, and so requires dedicated study. To understand race and racism in these terms is to understand that it is a structure of domination, one that is reproduced through things like policy, law, medicine, education, media, and more. Critical approaches to race demand that we attend to the ways race and racism are produced, both historically and contemporarily. This does not constitute a program of propaganda but a mode of critical inquiry that is consciously and explicitly invested in dismantling structures that perpetuate racism and racial domination.

The signatories of this letter oppose the attacks on ‘critical race theory’. At a time of mounting white supremacism across the Global North, these attacks are a stark reminder that we need more critical thinking about race and we resolve to continue this work across a range of diverse fields and disciplines. We call on institutions of research and education in Australia to stand with students, scholars, and educators whose work is coming under attack and to support their vital work.
