Bennett Capers on Afrofuturism & Critical Race Theory

In this episode, Bennett Capers, Stanley A. August Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School, discusses his article "Afrofuturism, Critical Race Theory, and Policing in the Year 2044," which was published in the New York University Law Review. Capers begins by explaining the concept of "Afrofuturism" and the role it has played in African-American thought. He describes the creation and development of the Critical Race Theory movement and how it relates to Afrofuturism. And he reflects on how Afrofuturism and Critical Race Studies can help us imagine the future of policing in a majority-minority United States.
