Description
Intersectionality as Critical Social Theory by Patricia Hill Collins offers a set of analytical tools to develop intersectionality's capability to theorize social inequality and facilitate social change. While it sheds light on contemporary issues, Collins argues that intersectionality has yet to reach its full potential as a critical social theory. To unlock its full power, intersectionality requires critical reflection on its assumptions, epistemologies, and methods. Collins places intersectionality in dialogue with various theoretical traditions to sharpen its definition and foreground its unique critical purchase. This approach provides a comprehensive interrogation into the potential of intersectionality to reshape the world. By engaging with these ideas, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how intersectionality can be used to analyze and address social inequality.
