What are the connections between such incidents of violence and extreme harm? In this new book, world-renowned sociologist Patricia Hill Collins explores how violence differentially affects people according to their class, sexuality, nationality, and ethnicity. These invisible workings of overlapping power relations give rise to what she terms “lethal intersections,” where multiple forms of oppression converge to catalyze a set of violent practices that fall more heavily on particular groups. Drawing on a rich tapestry of cases, Collins challenges readers to reflect on what counts as violence today and what can be done about it. Resisting violence offers a common thread that weaves together disparate antiviolence projects across the world. When parents of murdered children organize against gun violence, when Black citizens march against the excessive use of police force in their neighborhoods, and when women and girls report sexual abuse by employers, coaches, and community leaders, the ideas and actions of ordinary people lay a foundation for new ways of thinking about and combating violence.    Through its ground-breaking analysis, Lethal Intersections aims to stimulate debate about violence as one of the most pressing social problems of our times.   Also available as an audiobook.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301452132725,"sku":"9781509553167","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509553167_d44ce121-e2ad-484e-9646-e096fad306c0.jpg?v=1786021994"},{"product_id":"9781478006466","title":"Intersectionality As Critical Social Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eIntersectionality as Critical Social Theory\u003c\/i\u003e Patricia Hill Collins offers a set of analytical tools for those wishing to develop intersectionality's capability to theorize social inequality in ways that would facilitate social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile intersectionality helps shed light on contemporary social issues, Collins notes that it has yet to reach its full potential as a critical social theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe contends that for intersectionality to fully realize its power, its practitioners must critically reflect on its assumptions, epistemologies, and methods.
