About this listen

The concept of intersectionality has become a central topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another?

In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. Analyzing the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept of intersectionality, the authors also consider its global reach through an array of new topics such as the rise of far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding complex architecture of social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change.

Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates, and new directions in this field.

This is a wonderful overview of where intersectionality stands, in academia and praxis. The narration is energetic and the voice pleasant enough, but the weird inflections in tone, misplaced emphasis in words and overall what felt almost like a robotic disconnect between how the sentences were constructed and read out started to really get on my nerves. Probably one of the worst readings of a passage from Audre Lorde’s The Masters Tools nearly did me in.

Essential book, so-so narration
