Question

What exactly is hegemonic theory and critical race theory? please have links/sources for your info?

Answer 1

Hegemony is the philosophy that a dominant power has the responsibility to govern/regulate/police other powers. Some use this theory to justify the U.S.'s policing of the world.

Answer 2

Hegemony is a concept used to describe the existence of dominance of one social group over another, such that the ruling group acquires some degree of consent from the subordinate, as opposed to dominance purely by force. It is used broadly to mean any kind of dominance, and narrowly to refer to specifically cultural and non-military dominance.

Critical race theory is a school of sociological thought that emphasizes the socially constructed nature of race and considers judicial conclusions to be the result of the workings of power, and opposes the continuation of all forms of subordination.
