Description
A groundbreaking collection that bridges two influential concepts: intersectionality and Black studies. First coined by Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw in the 1980s, intersectionality has become a transformative framework for understanding identity and discrimination. This book brings together leading scholars to apply this concept to the black diasporic experience in Britain, examining how it informs our understanding of Black British experiences. The contributors explore key issues such as gender and Black womanhood, representation within contemporary culture, and the position of Black Britons within institutions like family, education, and health. They also consider the role intersectionality can play in shaping future political activism and forging links beyond 'Blackness' to other social movements. By bringing together these perspectives, this collection sheds new light on the complexities of Blackness in Britain and its intersections with other areas of life.
