It's now been over two decades since legal scholar Kimberle Crenshaw wrote her original paper coining the term 'intersectionality' and mainstream feminism is still in the throes of a massive storm around it." Over the past twenty years the concept of "intersectionality," first coined by scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, has emerged as an influential approach to understanding discrimination and exclusion in our society, whose members can experience bias in multiple ways—as a consequence of race, gender, sexual orientation, or a combination of these. And as the Washington Postreported recently, "the term has been used by social activists as both a rallying cry for more expansive progressive movements and a chastisement for their limitations." As a new wave of activism seeks to challenge entrenched discrimination in America, few concepts have acquired such relevance or been so widely debated. This volume is a true intellectual and political treasure trove. It establishes beyond any doubt that Marxist-Feminist thought is a vital resource for the struggles ahead. From the end of the miners’ strike to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the left in Britain stumbled from one nadir to the next. How they made a clean sweep of Labour’s NEC elections is a process even the participants do not yet fully understand. However, one thing is certain: this was not a theory-led revolution. The ideas of the modern left were primarily born out of a new kind of practice and some undeniable facts. Neoliberalism had failed. In the survival strategies adopted by governments it has become, as the economist William Davies writes, “literally unjustified”. Davies’ book The Limits of Neoliberalism sums up the wider thinking of the UK left about the system it is trying to replace. It identifies the coercive imposition of competition by a centralised state as the core problem, and contains the most succinct definition of neoliberalism in the English language: “the disenchantment of politics by economics”.Over the past twenty years the concept of "intersectionality," first coined by scholar Kimberle Crenshaw, has emerged as an influential approach to understanding discrimination and exclusion in our society, whose members can experience bias in multiple ways--as a consequence of race, gender, sexual orientation, or a combination of these. And as the Washington Post reported recently, "the term has been used by social activists as both a rallying cry for more expansive progressive movements and a chastisement for their limitations." As a new wave of activism seeks to challenge entrenched discrimination in America, few concepts have acquired such relevance or been so widely debated. A thought-provoking set of essays showing how contemporary Marxist-Feminist theory is vitally relevant for the crucial feminist questions of today, from gender oppression to care work to facing environmental crisis. Recommended reading for all scholars engaged in thinking deeply on how to change the world. I read this freshman year of college and still return to this because I was that moved. Still am. This was an assigned reading, a “textbook” that I rented, but loved so much I went out and bought. 💛 It was the first book that really opened my eyes to the intricacies of systemic racism and sexism and what I can do to educate myself to do better. Considering its recent prominence, it's surprising to realize that the term [intersectionality] has been around only since 1989: It was coined by legal scholar and critical theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw." In this comprehensive and accessible introduction to Crenshaw's work, readers will find key essays and articles that have defined the concept of intersectionality, collected together for the first time. The book includes a sweeping new introduction by Crenshaw as well as prefaces that contextualize each of the chapters.

Reading her famous essay on intersectionality was one of those "consciousness changing" moments for me as an undergrad. I just stumbled on a pdf of it online, which reminded me that I never read anything else of hers...so I will rectify that shortly... This vital new collection presents new Marxist-Feminist analyses of Capitalism as a gendered, racialized social formation that shapes and is shaped by specific nature-labour relationships. Leaving behind former overtly structuralist thinking, Marxist-Feminist Theories and Struggles Today interweaves strands of ecofeminism and intersectional analyses to develop an understanding of the relations of production and the production of nature through the interdependencies of gender, class, race and colonial relations.

Kimberlé Crenshaw belongs at the center of public conversation. . . . Imagine the world we might have if we all took a few moments to engage her ideas."If there is a single book that embodies the activist left’s turn towards electoral politics it is Pablo Iglesias’s Politics in a Time of Crisis. Others had talked about storming the political system by creating a new formation; by the time it came out Iglesias had done it, supplanting PSOE, Spain’s traditional socialist party as the main left force in several cities. Iglesias – like Davies – identified the hollowing out of democracy by market forces as the issue that would allow radical leftism to win new support among millions of people.
