Abstract
The goal of this chapter goal is to map critical race theory (CRT) scholarship in education over the past decade and draw this map with respect to larger conceptual categories of the scholarship on CRT, primarily focusing on the ideas applied from CRT in legal studies. The chapter focuses primarily on the past 10 years and creates "spatial" markers based on the view of significant features in the literature. Some of these markers are whiteness as property, counternarrative, and interest convergence. Others are newly-represented such as microaggressions, intersectionality, and research methods. From the perspective of far too many students of color in schools, we are STILL not saved. While the chapter outlines several recommendations for CRT scholarship to move forward, perhaps the most important recommendation is to collectively seek to ensure that CRT becomes more than an intellectual movement.

Everyone Sees Color: Toward a Transformative Critical Race Framework of Early Literacy Teacher Education

TL;DR: This article used Critical Race Theory (CRT) to reframe early literacy teacher education and create counternarrative to address pervasive issues of inequity among minoritized students, highlighting the tensions that resulted from the author's use of such a framework: Preservice teachers enrolled in the course expressed feelings that focusing on issues of race and racism was at the expense of their "literacy training, problems accepting the idea that they could be personally biased, and notions that the CRT frame was inapplicable to them because they were at White schools."
