“The second edition of Intersectionality is a gift.
Collins and Bilge have done it again, and somehow they’ve improved
on the already stellar contributions of the first edition. At once
incisive and accessible, this is a text for novice scholars looking
for an entry point into intersectionality studies, as well as for
more seasoned readers seeking a rich text with which to deepen
engagement with this critical field. Intersectionality is a
dynamic, interdisciplinary, and hotly contested terrain of
scholar-activism, and Collins and Bilge are generous guides and
teachers. Rather than merely tell, the second edition
of Intersectionality expertly shows readers the
key tenets of intersectional approaches and important applications
of the concepts in a thoroughly global context. Perhaps most
importantly, Collins and Bilge never let you forget that for all
the hand-wringing over what intersectionality is, where it comes
from, and what it can or cannot do, intersectionality is about
social justice. This book is a remarkable contribution from two of
the most vitally important and generous leaders of the field.”

Foundations and Frontiers, 2nd edition
“Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a rich and nuanced
framework for understanding the meanings of intersectionality and
why it is so powerful for addressing issues of social justice in
these times.”
Barbara Smith, Co-founder Combahee River Collective “An
illuminating and accessible entry into intersectionality, which
acknowledges creative tensions between academic inquiry and
political praxis. The authors’ careful and rigorous work symbolizes
the best of what intersectionality has to offer a world that is
desperate for new solutions and battle-scarred by quick
fixes.”
