Intersectionality and Beyond

'This important book examines some of the complexities of intersectionality theory in feminist theory in general and in relation to legal issues in particular. In doing so it both problematises and promotes it as central to contemporary 'glocal' feminist theory and activism.'

Nira Yuval-Davis, Professor in Gender & Ethnic Studies, School of Social Sciences, Media and Cultural Studies, University of East London

'After almost twenty years of feminist discussion of gender's intersection with other categories of identity, a collection like this one is way overdue. By addressing tensions between structural and cultural difference and alternative approaches, the collection poses hard questions and offers fresh, open-ended perspectives. This is an invaluable critical assessment of what has become a foundational idea in feminist studies.'
