Race and ethnicity have endured as potent means of organizing various social and political inequalities in the United States. Since the civil rights movement, scant progress has been made in developing new and effective paradigms to address the systemic marginalization of minorities from the polity. This commentary compares three frameworks for social equity: conservative multiculturalism, liberal multiculturalism, and critical race theory. It argues that the novel philosophy of critical race theory, which seeks to challenge rights-based individualism and hierarchy, holds the greatest promise for understanding the role of race and ethnicity in the formation and maintenance of American institutions
