Introduction: Thoughts and Ideas on the Intersectionality of Identity‪.‬

A Critical Race Narrative of Intersectionality One of the elements that appear in critical race theory and its subsequent theoretical outgrowths is the element of counterstory or counterstorytelling. Counterstory, as described by Delgado (1999), is created by the out-group, the members of the socially marginalized group, aimed to subvert the reality of the dominant group. For socially marginalized groups, this reality centers on a host of presuppositions, commonly held wisdoms, and shared understandings by the dominant group about the outgroup. These presuppositions, wisdoms, and understandings are what Romeo and Stewart (1999) refer to as the master narrative.
