Abstract
ABSTRACT The following article positions the work of Charles Mills (1951–2021) as seminal to the development of critical race theory (CRT) in education. His groundbreaking contribution, The Racial Contract, has served as the foundation for understanding the myriad ways that white supremacy is central in the social contract championed by scholars of the Western European Enlightenment period. It is a ‘rifle’ in that it offers an unapologetically Black interruption to the necessity of refusal and resistance. The ‘rose’ of Dr. Mills’ work is always represented in his humor and commitment to joy in the face of violence and extreme hostility. The article names the genesis of my relationship with Dr. Mills as a newly hired professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and through his mentorship of founding members of the Critical Race Studies in Education Association (CRSEA).
以下文章将查尔斯·米尔斯(1951-2021)的工作定位为教育中批判种族理论(CRT)发展的开创性研究。他的开创性著作《种族契约论》(The Racial Contract)为理解白人至上主义在西欧启蒙时期学者所倡导的社会契约论中的核心地位奠定了基础。它是一支“来复枪”，因为它毫无歉意地打断了拒绝和抵抗的必要性。米尔斯博士作品中的“玫瑰”总是体现在他面对暴力和极端敌意时的幽默和对快乐的承诺中。这篇文章列出了我与米尔斯博士关系的起源，当时我是伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校(University of Illinois at Chicago)的新聘教授，并通过他对教育中关键种族研究协会(CRSEA)创始成员的指导。
