Intersectionality and marginalisation within feminism

I thought this was a pretty good overview video, I just saw it today on tumblr. http://thosepeskydames.tumblr.com/post/18029222541/intersectionality-and-marginalisation-within

3. Excellent!

I didn't know this was all out there

Sunera Thobani talks a lot about intersectionality too. I couldn't fight a site of her collected works but the next best thing would be reference sites for works on intersectionality.

Any suggestions?

5. I haven't seen any really user-friendly sites for intersectionality reference.

I've been trying to pull stuff together since we found out that F&D was happening. I usually just try to collect and bookmark things that I read and liked. It's all scattered around the web and decentralized as far as I can tell.

Intersectionality.org has an extensive bibliography: http://www.intersectionality.org/index.php?id=112 but to be honest, I like the non-academic writing, videos, etc. that people produce and publish themselves.

7. Thanks for that link

Bookmarked but I can tell I like the self-productions better too.

8. I thought that you might. :)

Hey, have you seen this poster yet? I would love to see this letterpressed, I might have to print it so I can hang it up, even if it is just ink-jet:

9. bell hooks! bell hooks! bell hooks! bell hooks!

I have the world's hugest crush on her.

“If I were really asked to define myself, I wouldn’t start with race; I wouldn’t start with blackness; I wouldn’t start with gender; I wouldn’t start with feminism. I would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that I’m a seeker on the path. I think of feminism, and I think of anti-racist struggles as part of it. But where I stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about love.”
― bell hooks

I'm thinking of printing your poster too.
