- Title
Reflections on the Mainstreaming of Intersectionality: Critical Engagement and New Visions.
- Authors

- Abstract
Intersectionality has become the reigning paradigm of mainstream feminist discourse. In this paper, I problematize the effects of intersectionality and question whether this discursive shift has achieved its goals of de-centering the experiences of white women and creating a more inclusive movement. Drawing heavily from black radical feminist and women of color critiques, I argue that intersectionality, as it exists now, continues to exclude the narratives and needs of women of color. Building on the essays of Kimberlé Crenshaw and other women of color feminist texts, I attempt to rearticulate intersectionality and create a more expansive vision for feminist political mobilization.
