Pursuing Intersectionality, Unsettling Dominant Imaginaries

By Vivian M. May

Book Overview

Pursuing Intersectionality, Unsettling Dominant Imaginaries offers a interdisciplinary exploration of intersectional ideas, histories, and practices that no other text does. Deftly synthesizing much of the existing literatures, May invites us to confront a disconcerting problem: though intersectionality is widely known, acclaimed, and applied, it is often construed in ways that depoliticize, undercut, or even violate its most basic premises. This book answers the basic questions on intersectionality, attends to its historical roots, and offers insights and strategies from across the disciplines for bracketing dominant logics and for orienting toward intersectional dispositions and practices.
