These sound like great resources! Thank you!

I wish I could recall the things I've tried, but I'm pretty sure none of them are on your list. I mean, I know I read quite a bit of William Tate, but that's an education-centric take on Critical Race Theory, which already is somewhat dubious as a Critical Theory. (I will withhold judgment regarding whether CRT is legitimately a CT--I need to understand CT better.)

Anyway, just so you know where I'm coming from, I characterize Nietzsche's writings, which are widely lauded, as even more strewn with errors in reasoning. Plowing through Beyond Good and Evil was excruciating as an exercise in rational thought. (It's pretty evocative, so it's okay as a literary symphony to play on your intuitions, but intuitions are foolish things, easily distracted by whatever shiny objects happen to appear at the moment.)

But since I made only a couple of half-serious efforts to get more familiar with Critical Theory, and abandoned the attempts pretty early on, I am afraid I don't remember what I sampled. I'll let you know if I run across any of the same stuff again.
