Description
Lethal Intersections: Exploring the Connections Between Violence and Oppression Patricia Hill Collins examines how violence affects individuals differently based on their social status, sexuality, nationality, and ethnicity. She identifies "lethal intersections," where multiple forms of oppression converge to lead to violent practices that disproportionately affect certain groups. Collins draws on a range of cases to challenge readers' understanding of what constitutes violence today and how it can be addressed. Her work highlights the importance of ordinary people's efforts to combat violence, from parents organizing against gun violence to individuals reporting sexual abuse by those in positions of power. Through its analysis, Lethal Intersections aims to stimulate debate about one of the most pressing social problems of our time: violence.
