Despite becoming a central theme in feminist scholarship and activism, Tomlinson believes dominant feminism has failed to fully understand the concept. Undermining Intersectionality reveals that this apparent paradox is the result of the disturbing racial politics underlying more than two decades of widely-cited critiques of intersectionality produced by prominent white feminist scholars who have been insufficiently attentive to racial dynamics. As such, feminist critiques of intersectionality repeatedly reinforce racial hierarchies, undermining academic feminism's supposed commitment to social justice. Tomlinson offers a persuasive analysis of the rhetorics and conventions of argument used in these critiques to demonstrate their systematic reliance on "powerblind" discursive practices. Undermining Intersectionality concludes by presenting suggestions about concrete steps feminist researchers, readers, authors, and editors can take to promote more productive and principled engagements with intersectional thinking"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "This project examines the discursive practices of feminist critiques of intersectionality, arguing that they reinforce racial hierarchies, undermine feminism's stated commitments to social justice, and register a perception by white feminists that they have lost control of a certain kind of feminism that centers racially unmarked women"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Feminism $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Feminism $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Race $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Feminism & Feminist Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Feminism $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922718 650 7 $a Race $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086449 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Tomlinson, Barbara MacMichael, 1946- $t Undermining intersectionality. $d Philadelphia : Temple University Press, 2018 $z 9781439916520 $w (DLC) 2018033632 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210903014440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=937FBF7C0F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
