Description
Intersectionality: An Intellectual History by Ange-Marie Hancock provides a comprehensive understanding of this influential theory. Emerging over thirty years ago, intersectionality offers a nuanced approach to thinking about inequalities, considering how categories such as race, gender, class, and sexuality are socially constructed and operate within power relations. This book seeks to remedy the lack of specificity in current intersectionality scholarship by examining the historical, geographical, and cross-disciplinary aspects of the theory. Hancock's work maps the relative ways in which identity politics create power, challenging traditional views on inequalities as a relationship between those at the center and those on the margins. By providing an intellectual history of intersectionality, this book sets an agenda for the theory, offering a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in fields such as political science, sociology, psychology, and more.
