This article discusses and presents papers from a LatCrit symposium. It reviews methodologies and issues, in relation to the broader "outsider" legal discourse on identity, law and legal theory. The information is divided into two thematic sections, with each section containing several essays. Section 1 focuses on race, ethnicity and nationhood and section 2 focuses on policy, politics and practice. A central theme is the importance of anti-subordination principles and praxis (a combination of theory and practice) that emphasize interconnectivity, cooperation and coalition amongst people of colour. Although this article does not focus on women, the approach is useful in considering the intersection of gender and race.
