The brainchild of three Women of Color sociologists, IntersectionAllies is a smooth, gleeful entry into identity politics.
The ten interconnected characters proudly describe themselves and their backgrounds, involving topics that range from a physical disability to language brokering, offering an opportunity to take pride in a personal story and connect to collective struggle for justice.
The group bond grounds the message of ally-ship and equality. When things get hard, the kids support each other for who they are: Parker defends Kate, a gender fluid character who eschews skirts for a superman cape; Heejung welcomes Yuri, a refugee escaping war, into their community; and Alejandra’s family cares for Parker after school while her mother works. Advocating respect and inclusion, IntersectionAllies is a necessary tool for learning to embrace, rather than shy away from, difference.
Featuring gorgeous illustrations on every page by Ashley Seil Smith and a powerful introduction by activist and law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the term intersectionality.

She currently researches how black women express their politics through fashion and consumer practices as a doctoral candidate in Sociology at the University of Southern California.LaToya Council grew up in a single-parent household, observing every day how difficult it was for her mom, who worked multiple jobs to keep the family afloat. Seeing how she was impacted by the demands of employment, unpaid care work, and involvement in my sister and my education drew LaToya to sociology as an undergraduate at Spelman, where she was first introduced to the concept of intersectionality. A PhD student at USC, her dissertation focuses on work and family through the intersectional lens of race, gender, and class.
