Intersectionality

Intersectionality: Foundations and Frontiers (2019) provides a reliable and thorough review of how intersectionality theory is enacted in its multiple conceptions. It encourages both students and scholars of feminist theory alike to question how they intend to use the theory in their own work and activism. Teresa Frasca and Stephanie A. Shields in Psychology of Women Quarterly (2020) The range of both the topics addressed and the (inter)disciplinary institutional locations of contributing scholars speaks to the capaciousness of intersectionality (as theory, method, practice)-that is, its usefulness for addressing a range of issues across academic fields... Grzanka's superb editing and translating of complicated theoretical ideas into a digestible format is a significant intellectual contribution, one that will be particularly useful for introductory courses on difference, marginalization, and oppression. Carly Thompsen in Hypatia (2019) Patrick Grzanka's Intersectionality: Foundations and Frontiers is a breathtakingly interdisciplinary engagement with intersectionality's intellectual, political, and institutional itineraries. It does justice to intersectionality's multiple lives in Left politics, in the contemporary US university, in black feminist and women of color feminist theories, and it captures the term's histories, critical aspirations, and political desires, always with an attention to intersectionality's complexities. This is a book that does justice to the complex life of intersectionality, and that treats the term's foundational texts and contemporary debates with the deepest forms of care and generosity. Jennifer Christine Nash, Associate Professor, African American Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Northwestern University Patrick Grzanka has delivered the new definitive reader on intersectionality! More expansive and inclusive in scope, it maps intersectionality's movement across time and space. An outstanding resource and teaching tool. Jyoti Puri, Professor, Sociology, Simmons College This is a wonderfully comprehensive reader on intersectionality that showcases the field's multi-faceted histories, its diversity of voices, its range of sites, and its wealth of insights. Tracking classic as well as contemporary contributions, the book shows the ongoing significance and necessity of intersectionality.
