The Routledge International Handbook of Intersectionality Studies Intersectionality is one of the most popular theoretical paradigms in gender studies and feminist theory today. Initially developed to explore how gender and race interact in the experiences of US women of colour it has since been taken up in different disciplines and national contexts where it is used to investigate a wide range of intersecting social identities and experiences of exclusion and subordination. This volume explores intersectionality studies as a burgeoning international field with a growing body of research which is increasingly drawn upon in policy political interventions and social activism. Bringing together contributors from different disciplines and locations The Routledge International Handbook of Intersectionality Studies maps the history and travels of intersectionality between continents and countries and takes up debates surrounding the privileged role of race in intersectional analysis the ways in which intersectional analysis should or should not be carried out and the political implications of thinking intersectional analysis and thought. Opening up new avenues of enquiry for a future generation of scholars and practitioners it will appeal to scholars of sociology gender studies politics and cultural studies with interests in feminist thought social identity social exclusion and social inequality.
