In JURISPRUDENTIAL METHODOLOGY, 'CRITICAL RACE THEORY' (CRT), associated with Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Patricia Williams, argues:

1. CRITICAL RACE THEORY (CRT) emerged in the 1980s-90s in American legal academia, growing from CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES. 2. KEY PROPOSITIONS: 3. (i) RACISM IS PERMANENT in society — not aberration but structure; 4. (ii) LAW has been CONSTRUCTED TO MAINTAIN RACIAL HIERARCHY — formally equal law produces unequal effects; 5. (iii) INTERSECTIONALITY — Kimberlé Crenshaw's seminal concept: overlapping systems of oppression (race, gender, class) produce unique experiences; 6. (iv) NARRATIVE METHODOLOGY — counter-stories, autobiography, fiction reveal experiences masked by formal legal discourse; 7. (v) INTEREST CONVERGENCE — Derrick Bell: racial progress comes when it converges with white interests; 8. (vi) WHITENESS AS PROPERTY — Cheryl Harris (1993). 9. KEY THINKERS: Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Patricia Williams, Charles Lawrence, Mari Matsuda. 10. INDIA: parallel work on CASTE — B.R. Ambedkar's writings; modern caste critique. CRT methodology has informed Indian critical scholarship. 11. Hence option B is correct. _Source: Legal Research Methodology + Jurisprudence — Derrick Bell, 'Faces at the Bottom of the Well' (1992); Kimberlé Crenshaw, 'Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex' (1989)_
