Utilizing critical race theory and antiracist education as the main theoretical frameworks, this paper critically analyzes mathematics education (ME) and problematizes the ways mathematics teaching and learning is approached in many K-12 schools. If mathematics fields are going to diversify, an epistemological shift in how we think about, teach, and learn mathematics is imperative. This conceptual paper: 1) uncovers epistemological racism in mathematics; 2) explores the theoretical frameworks underlying antiracist education (AE) and critical mathematics (CM); and 3) discusses critical antiracist mathematics (CAM) and the promise it holds for facilitating the development of a mathematics identity for students of color.

Critical race theorists contend that one of the major modes for disseminating “master narratives” of the dominant group is through the system of schooling (Zamudio, Russell, Rios, & Bridgeman, 2011). More often than not, these master narratives are presented as objective truths, but in fact are grounded in Western epistemologies, and serve as mechanisms to silence alternative truths or narratives.
