Intersectional Knowledges: Roots, Routes and Visions

Intersectionality is a transformative framework that transcends traditional social categorizations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of identities like class, race, and gender. The contributors to this volume offer profound insights into the complexities of human experiences, social structures, and power dynamics. Unique in its global perspective, their analysis incorporates critical voices from the Global South and examines minority experiences in the Global North. It aims to carry the tradition of intersectionality as a social critical theory to the European context and addresses key issues in German academia, proposing new definitions and structures to advance Intersectionality Studies. This poses an essential invitation to critically engage with and reshape existing power structures in the production of knowledge.
