Framing Intersectionality (The Feminist Imagination - Europe and Beyond)

Originally conceived by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 as a tool for the analysis of the ways in which different forms of social inequality, oppression and discrimination interact and overlap in multidimensional ways, the concept of 'intersectionality' has attracted much attention in international feminist debates over the last decade. Framing Intersectionality brings together proponents and critics of the concept, to discuss the 'state of the art' with those that have been influential in the debates that surround it. Exploring issues such as migration, identity, media coverage of sexual violence against men and transnational livelihoods of high and low skilled migrants, this book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of gender, women's studies, masculinity, inequalities and feminist thought.
