Abstract

Critical librarianship involves the study of structures that undergird the selection, acquisition, description, circulation, and preservation of information. These library structures are embedded in other systems, including capitalism, colonialism, and other circuits of power. Critical librarianship that acknowledges global contexts must include a critique of the dynamics of American empire.
