In this incisive introduction to Crenshaw’s groundbreaking work, readers will find the key essays and articles that have defined the concept of intersectionality collected together for the first time.

In each case, her analysis challenges and exposes the intricate social dynamics among individuals and groups whose identities are increasingly layered.
This new account covers the evolution of the meaning of intersectionality over the course of two decades and how this concept has radically changed the face of social justice activism.On Intersectionality is compulsory reading from one of the most brilliant critical race theorists of our time.

Recensione
I want Kimberlé Crenshaw at the center of public conversation because her mapping of the margins is a powerful contribution to the world of ideas. Imagine the world we might have if we all took a few moments to engage her ideas.
