Emerging Intersections, an anthology of ten previously unpublished essays, looks at the problems of inequality and oppression from new angles and promotes intersectionality as an interpretive tool that can be utilized to better understand the ways in which race, class, gender, ethnicity, and other dimensions of difference shape our lives today. The book showcases innovative contributions that expand our understanding of how inequality affects people of color, demonstrates the ways public policies reinforce existing systems of inequality, and shows how research and teaching using an intersectional perspective compels scholars to become agents of change within institutions. By offering practical applications for using intersectional knowledge, Emerging Intersections will help bring us one step closer to achieving positive institutional change and social justice. 606 $aSocial classes$zUnited States 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 606 $aHomosexuality$zUnited States 606 $aDiscrimination$zUnited States 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y1980- 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aHomosexuality 615 0$aDiscrimination 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a306.0973/09045 701 $aDill$b Bonnie Thornton$01038322 701 $aZambrana$b Ruth E$01033339 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454262603321 996 $aEmerging intersections$92459838 997 $aUNINA
