About this book

This book re-examines political, conceptual and methodological concerns of 'intersectionality', bringing these into conversation with sexuality studies. It explores sexual identifications, politics and inequalities as these (dis)connect across time and place, and are re-constituted in relation to class, disability, ethnicity, gender and age.

Reviews

'Since the 1980s theories of intersectionality have provided a vital means of exploring the overlapping, interweaving forms of power and domination, especially around race, gender and class, and the ways they impact on the reality of individual lives. In this important new book the contributors turn a supportive but critical eye on the debates so far, but also highlight the absences. Sexuality, especially, so important in the early days of debates about intersectionality, has often been neglected. This book more than makes up for a gap. It opens up the debate in new and insightful ways, and underlines the continuing relevance of the idea of intersectionality.' - Jeffrey Weeks, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, London South Bank University, UK

'A politically provocative and theoretically challenging collection of essays that should stimulate debate about the much used concept of "intersectionality" across the critical social sciences.' - Sasha Roseneil, Professor of Sociology and Social Theory, Birkbeck University of London, UK
