While \"intersectionality\" tends to circulate merely as a buzzword, Anna Carastathis joins other critical voices in urging a more careful reading. Challenging the narratives of arrival that surround it, Carastathis argues that intersectionality is a horizon, illuminating ways of thinking that have yet to be realized; consequently, calls to \"go beyond\" intersectionality are premature. A provisional interpretation of intersectionality can disorient habits of essentialism, categorical purity, and prototypicality and overcome dynamics of segregation and subordination in political movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Through a close reading of critical race theorist KimberlÉ Williams Crenshaw's germinal texts, published more than twenty-five years ago, Carastathis urges analytic clarity, contextual rigor, and a politicized, historicized understanding of this pervasive concept. Intersectionality's roots in social justice movements and critical intellectual projects-specifically black feminism-must be retraced and synthesized with a decolonial analysis so that its potential to actualize coalitions can be enacted.\n\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48689468211435,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":100.71,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780803285552-1.jpg?v=1781639102","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780803285552","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
