Description
Olive Schreiner Decoloniality, Intersectionality and the Schreiner Theoria is a groundbreaking exploration of the thought of Olive Schreiner, a renowned writer, feminist theorist, and social critic. This book presents Schreiner's pioneering ideas on intersectionality, labour, women, and race as mutually reinforcing and bound together with capitalism, imperialism, and war in society. Through an analysis of her use of different genres of writing, the author reveals a unique combination of social theory and practical examples at the core of Schreiner's intellectual project. This approach, which challenged her contemporaries, showcases Schreiner as a forerunner of present-day sociological thinking. Scholars of sociology and social theory will find this book an important examination of the significance of Schreiner's work in the history of the discipline.
