 * Enumeration of forms: black-white binary, tools of thought+dilemma of law reform, empathetic fallacy, serving two masters, race remedies as homeostatic device

Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings that Formed the Movement (1996, Crenshaw, Gotanda, Peller, Thomas):

"No canonical set of doctrines or methodologies...nevertheless unified by 2 common interests..."
 * 1) Understand the regime of white supremacy and subordination of people of common, esp. how white supremacy is related to the "rule of law" and "equal protection". (systematic)
 * 2) Not just understand law, but change it.


 * "This ethical aspiration finds its most concrete expression in the pursuit of engaged, even adversarial scholarship. (counternarrative)
 * "...believe scholarship cannot be written from a neutral perch..." (critique of liberalism)

Nice definition of Interest Convergence:

Critical Race Theory, Asian Americans, and Higher Education: A Review of Research:
 * 1) racism  is  commonplace rather  than  out  of  the  ordinary
 * 2) the  dominant  ideology  promotes  the  interest convergence  or  material  determinism  of  Whites  over  people  of  color
 * 3) race  is socially  constructed
 * 4) minorities  are  differentially  racialized  as  a  matter  of convenience
 * 5) understanding   the   intersectionality   and   anti-essentialism   of identity
 * 6) recognizing   voices-of-color
