Intersectionality and Beyond

<p>This collection addresses the present and the future of the concept of intersectionality within socio-legal studies. Intersectionality provides a metaphorical schema for understanding the interaction of different forms of disadvantage including race sexuality and gender. But it also goes further to provide a particular model of how these aspects of social identity and location converge – whether at the level of subjectivity everyday life in culture or in the institutional practices of state and other bodies. Including contributions from a range of international scholars this book interrogates what has become a key organizing concept across a range of disciplines most particularly law political theory and cultural studies. </p>
