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.

TL;DR: The authors have taken to heart the call of critical race theorists and critical Whiteness scholars to open up a White discourse on White racism. But they were critically aware of both the negative and positive possible outcomes of their endeavors and were able to establish ways of speaking about Whiteness that moved their students, and ourselves, to a more critical, more empowered understanding of race and Whiteness.
