Backtalker

Backtalker: An American Memoir is a 2026 autobiography by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw. Published by Simon & Schuster on May 5, the book details her early life and personal conceptualization of intersectionality and critical race theory (CRT). It also divulges into her reaction to the 2020s critical race theory controversies, simultaneously serving as a refutation of accusations that her work was a "European import" based on cultural Marxism and "identity politics on steroids". Chapters were originally written as introductory articles for a law review volume, but her agent sought to expand readership to the public.
