Description:
Emerging Intersections, an anthology of ten previously unpublished essays, looks at the problems of inequality and oppression from new angles and promotes intersectionality as an interpretive tool that can be utilized to better understand the ways in which race, class, gender, ethnicity, and other dimensions of difference shape our lives today.
Review Quotes: "Altogether, this book is an excellent illustration of the potential of intersectional analysis to further understand and address inequality in the U.S. It unveils relationships of power that traditional studies of inequality often miss by treating inequalities separately. Most importantly, the book shows the importance of establishing how inequalities intersect in order to better guide the complex actions and tailored interventions that their perverse enmeshing requires."
