In critical race theory, nodality is a framework for understanding how racialized groups are organized into relational nodes within a wider structure. 
Description.

Instead of understanding racism as unidirectional from white to Black, nodality conceives racism as multidirectional between differentially racialized groups.
There are four main forms of nodality:
