Emerging Intersections: Race, Class, and Gender in Theory, Policy, and Practice

by Ruth Enid Zambrana, Patricia Hill Collins

"Emerging Intersections" is an anthology of ten previously unpublished essays that looks at the problems of inequality and oppression from new angles and promotes intersectionality as an interpretive tool that can be utilized to better understand the ways in which race, class, gender, ethnicity, and other dimensions of difference shape our lives today. The book showcases innovative contributions that expand our understanding of how inequality affects people of color, demonstrates the ways public policies reinforce existing systems of inequality, and shows how research and teaching using an intersectional perspective compels scholars to become agents of change within institutions.
