Description
Intersectionality is a vital lens for understanding how social inequalities intersect and shape one another. This fully revised and expanded second edition of Intersectionality by Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provides a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. The authors analyze the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept, as well as its global reach, exploring topics such as far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. With accessible writing and lively examples, the book highlights the potential of intersectionality for understanding complex social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change.
