520	3		_aA body of theoretical literature has developed that explains why historically disadvantaged groups should be represented by members of those groups. Such representatives are commonly referred to as descriptive representatives. This literature has also endorsed various institutional reforms to as descriptive representatives. This literature has also endorsed various institutional reforms aimed at increasing the number of descriptive representatives, e.g. party list quotas, racial districting, and proportional representatio. However, this literature does not articulate criteria that should guide the selection of descriptive representatives to serve in these insituional positions. Indeed, some thinkers claim that such criteria cannot, or at least should not, be articulate. I argue that some descriptive representatives are prefereable to others and that criteria for selecting preferable descriptive representatives can, and are preferable to others and that criteria for secting prefereable descriptive representatives can, and should, be articulated. Moreover, I recommende one such criterion: preferable descriptive representatives possess strong mutual relationships with dispossessed subgroups of historically disadvantaged groups
