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.
