Description:
Through a series of case studies of groups challenging social inequalities - based in class, race, culture, nationality, sexuality, religion, age, and disability - this book develops a critical-theoretical account of forms of resistance. It explores how people make sense of their subjectivity as they are constructed and reconstructed within relations of power, and what kinds of subjectivities are needed to struggle against forms of dominance. While each contribution to the volume foregrounds particular subjectivities, they apply an intersectional analysis to the particular sites of the struggle they are addressing.
