{"product_id":"9780803285552","title":"Intersectionality: Origins, Contestations, Horizons","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntersectionality\u003c\/i\u003e intervenes in the field of intersectionality studies: the integrative examination of the effects of racial, gendered, and class power on people’s lives. While “intersectionality” circulates as a buzzword, Anna Carastathis joins other critical voices to urge a more careful reading. Challenging the narratives of arrival that surround it, Carastathis argues that intersectionality is a horizon, illuminating ways of thinking that have yet to be realized; consequently, calls to “go beyond” intersectionality are premature. A provisional interpretation of intersectionality can disorient habits of essentialism, categorial purity, and prototypicality and overcome dynamics of segregation and subordination in political movements. Through a close reading of critical race theorist Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw’s germinal texts, published more than twenty-five years ago, Carastathis urges analytic clarity, contextual rigor, and a politicized, historicized understanding of this widely traveling concept. Intersectionality’s roots in social justice movements and critical intellectual projects—specifically Black feminism—must be retraced and synthesized with a decolonial analysis so its radical potential to actualize coalitions can be enacted.      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNP - Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020358959344,"sku":"9780803285552","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803285552_p0.jpg?v=1763728384","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803285552","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
