Framing Intersectionality by Helma Lutz
The concept of 'intersectionality' has attracted much attention in international feminist debates over the last decade. This title brings together proponents and critics of the concept, to discuss the advances with those that have been influential in the debates that surround it.'Finally here it is: the long awaited state-of-the-art textbook on intersectionality with a predominantly European slantIt is both a thickly descriptive and a steeply theoretically embedded endeavour. Tracing the European "success story" of a traveling concept, we are sensitized to intersectionality's multiple manifestations in a European context, which also depend on the national theoretical preoccupations which preceded it and on linguistic cultural capital.' - Gloria Wekker. Utrecht University. The Netherlands
'This collection captures the very pliability of intersectionality through deep description, creative application and original research. Its robust intellectual heft is showcased through explorations of masculinity, labor movements, embodiment, and migration. A much-appreciated engagement with one of the most theoretically significant interventions of the past two decades, it represents the continued unfolding of intersectionality and its new generation of possibilities.' - Lisa Jean Moore, State University of New York, USA
'This volume may well serve as a manifestation of the critical theoretical engagements that intersectionality compels. There are both discernible similarities and prominent disagreements in these author’s dialogues, which are in my opinion precisely what Kathy Davis sees as the working of a good feminist theory. As such, this volume surely puts another mark on its traveling trajectory, and makes ripple on the butterfly chain of feminist politics of transformation.' - Nordic Journal of Migration Research
'Framing Intersectionality: Debates on a Multi-Faceted Concept in Gender Studies provides a comprehensive overview of differing definitions, discussions and usages of this ‘chimerical’ concept (p. 45), with a focus on the European context.' - Irish Journal of Sociology
