Full Description
Rooted in scholarship on intersectional feminism and drawing on the lived experiences of women of color, this edited volume explores the formation and practice of intersectional community, across varied contexts, as a powerful agent of social change. Chapters focus on conceptualizing women of color sisterhoods as disruptive to dominant white, male narratives of success; re-imagining self-care as acts of collective care; analyzing the dynamic, reciprocal relationships between women of color and their larger communities in terms of space and place; and experiencing sisterhood across and within generations. Incorporating both autoethnography and traditional ethnography, this volume offers unique insights on the practice of intersectional community among women of color.
This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and academics studying the social sciences, gender studies, and particularly intersectional feminism.
