Backtalker 2026
Backtalker: An American Memoir is a 2026 autobiography written by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw. Published by Simon & Schuster on May 5, the book recounts her early years and how she developed ideas about intersectionality and critical race theory (CRT). It addresses her response to the 2020s critical race theory debates. The work also defends her against claims that her scholarship was a "European import" rooted in cultural Marxism and "identity politics on steroids". Originally composed as introductory essays for a law review publication, the chapters were later expanded by her agent to reach general readers.
