Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex (Odmarginalizowanie przecięcia rasy i płci)

Wprowadzenie

Kimberlé Crenshaw, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, published the article in the University of Chicago Legal Forum in 1989. She analyses employment discrimination cases such as DeGraffenreid v. General Motors (1976), in which Black women showed that the company had hired no Black women before 1964 but lost, because the court would examine race discrimination and sex discrimination only separately – and GM had hired both white women and Black men. Using the image of a traffic intersection, Crenshaw shows how a single-axis framework erases those who stand where several forms of discrimination cross, and extends this critique to feminist theory and antiracist politics. The term spread far beyond legal scholarship.
