Theorien der Intersektionalität zur Einführung

Intersectionality is one of the most discussed analytical perspectives in critical social and cultural sciences today. Based on the English metaphor of intersection, it captures the interplay of power structures such as racism, sexism, nationalism, and capitalism, and illustrates how individuals and groups are differently discriminated against and privileged within such systems of domination. The volume by Katrin Meyer provides an introduction to the early approaches of intersectional thinking, shows their institutional and disciplinary developments, and presents an overview of the central concerns, subjects, and methods of intersectionality theories today. A presentation and appreciation of current critical debates concludes the book.
