Intersecções letais: Raça, gênero e violência
Em determinadas intersecções de raça, gênero, classe, sexualidade, nacionalidade e religião a violência se faz mais presente e, muitas vezes, letal. Neste livro, o terceiro que tem como tema central a interseccionalidade, Patricia Hill Collins analisa casos reais de agressão contra grupos ou indivíduos específicos e cita ideias, ações e movimentos de resistência que surgiram como formas de combater o que se tornou um grande problema social.
Analisando situações como o assassinato de Marielle Franco no Brasil, o conflito na República Democrática do Congo, a condição das mulheres aborígenes na Austrália e da população negra nos Estados Unidos, Collins aponta metodologicamente e de maneira acessível como aplicar o conceito de interseccionalidade em análises sobre as origens e as consequências da desigualdade e da injustiça.
"Provocativo e desafiador, este livro é fundamental para aquelas e aqueles que buscam compreender as raízes estruturais da violência, a qual Collins se recusa a aceitar como inevitável, convidando-nos a resistir a esse perverso fenômeno. Intersecções letais é uma leitura imprescindível para as pessoas engajadas na luta por justiça social e que buscam aprofundar suas reflexões sobre as conexões entre violência, relações de poder e desigualdades", escreve Nilma Lino Gomes na orelha da obra.
