Description

The authors of this anthology explore the potential of intersectionality and discuss its limitations and pitfalls. The contributions in this book aim to examine intersectionality’s potential to raise new questions that can both fill theoretical and empirical gaps and broaden and enrich feminist discourse and feminist political practice. The texts in this book demonstrate that analyses of power cannot be reduced to a question of gender. The inequality rooted in capitalism, racism and heterosexism, which results in material and symbolic oppression, can best be analysed in dialogue with postcolonial theories, queer studies and perspectives critical of power.
