Problem
Part I:
Brit Bennett's The Vanishing Half.
In this novel, there are all sorts of lies told; just about everyone can be accused of lying at some point. Analyze the role that lies play in this novel. Are there tolerable, justified, and perhaps unjustifiable lies? What are the implications of the most important forms of dishonesty?
Part II:
Ladson-Billings, Critical Race Theory: What it is not? Ch. 2 & Delpit, "Silenced Dialogue"
What, according to Ladson-Billings and Tate, is Critical Race Theory (and what is it not)? What do you think the authors of the CRT article would say about the main arguments in Delpits, "Silenced Dialogue"?
