REFLECTIONS ON EQUALITY IN THE LIGHT OF THE CRITICAL RACE THEORY

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been neglected in European legal scholarship. CRT approaches promise to be a useful avenue for European jurisprudence, however, as European nations rapidly become more multiracial. The focus of this paper is on the theoretical value that radiates from some Critical Race Theory lines of thought, written from the perspective of an Italian legal scholar engaging in CRT. There are some aspects of CRT jurisprudence that are valuable from a general, legal-philosophical, point of view. CRT scholars have authored scholarship that has had an impact on the traditional, liberal notion of equality.
