Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw, a scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist legal theory, used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who-because of the intersection race, gender, and class-are exposed to exponential and interlocking forms of marginalization and oppression often rendering them invisible.

Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw, a scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist legal theory, used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black women who-because of the intersection race, gender, and class-are exposed to exponential and interlocking forms of marginalization and oppression often rendering them invisible. The second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education: Theory, Research & Praxis further documents and expands upon Crenshaw's articulation of intersectionality within the context of higher education. The text includes (a) theoretical and conceptual chapters on intersectionality; (b) empirical research and research-based chapters using intersectionality as a framework; and (c) chapters focusing on intersectional practices, all within higher education settings. The volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women and gender studies and programs alike.

Rezensionen
"For those engaged in social justice work as well as those unfamiliar with the interwoven nature of identity and disparities that exacerbate oppression, and the nuances of multiple group memberships, intersectionality is essential in advancing justice and curbing inequities. Too often is the case that scholars, practitioners, and advocates for social justice fall short of illustrating identity markers that are not siloes but routinely converge in fueling prejudice, systemic discrimination, and oppressive conditions. However, the second edition of Intersectionality & Higher Education edited by Donald "DJ" Mitchell, Jr. and associates recognizes this constraint subsequently providing breadth and depth on intersectionality. Readers will be informed and enlightened with complex applied theoretical, methodological, and practical intersectional approaches."-Eboni M.
