Since then, the concept has spread across national and disciplinary boundaries, and has had a transformative impact on the way in which we understand identity and the experience of discrimination. But outside the US, the application of intersectional theory has largely been disconnected from any analysis of ‘Blackness’, despite intersectionality’s origins in critical race theory (CRT).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurated by Crenshaw, Andrews and Wilson as well as several of the leading scholars of CRT, this collection bridges that gap, and is the first to apply both these concepts to contexts outside the US. Focusing on Blackness in Britain, the contributors examine how scholars and activists are employing intersectionality to foreground Black British experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts essays encompass key issues such as gender and Black womanhood, issues of representation within contemporary British culture, and the position of Black Britons within institutions such as the family, education and health. The book also looks to the role intersectionality can play in shaping future political activism, and in forging links beyond ‘Blackness’ to other social movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlackness at the Intersection\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of race, identity, and politics within contemporary Britain and its implications for broader social movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595806490860,"sku":"9781786998651","price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/eeee4e16fb06c89f35b8eb9a39eb0716.jpg?v=1777933723","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/blackness-at-the-intersection-9781786998651","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
