A Marxist case for intersectionality
MANY ACTIVISTS who have heard the term “intersectionality” being debated on the left have found it difficult to define it—and for a very understandable reason: Different people explain it differently and therefore are often talking at cross-purposes.
There are two quite distinct interpretations of intersectionality: one developed by Black feminists and the other by those from the “post-structural” wing of postmodernism. I want to try to make the differences clear in this article, and explain why the Black feminist tradition advances the project of building a unified movement to fight all forms of oppression, which is central to the socialist project—while post-structuralism does not.
