Introduction Intersectionality: Legacies and Controversies (original) (raw)

This article explores the concept of intersectionality, which emerged from feminist theorists to analyze the complexity of inequalities that intersect across various social dimensions such as race, class, gender, and sexuality. It traces the origins of intersectional thought back to Black feminist scholars and the Combahee River Collective, highlighting the contributions and critiques of intersectionality in contemporary scholarship. The paper concludes with a call for multidisciplinary approaches to migration scholarship through an intersectional framework.
