Marxism and Intersectionality – Race, Gender, Class and Sexuality under Contemporary Capitalism cover

What does the development of a truly robust contemporary theory of domination require? Ashley J. Bohrer argues that it is only by considering all of the dimensions of race, gender, sexuality, and class within the structures of capitalism and imperialism that we can understand power relations as we find them nowadays. Bohrer explains how many of the purported incompatibilities between Marxism and intersectionality arise more from miscommunication rather than a fundamental conceptual antagonism. As the first monograph entirely devoted to this issue, »Marxism and Intersectionality« serves as a tool to activists and academics working against multiple systems of domination, exploitation, and oppression.

»Ein ambitioniertes Werk und eine sehr empfehlenswerte Lektüre.« Politikum, 3 (2021) »Die Beiträge von Bohrer [bieten] den Ausgangspunkt für eine produktive Debatte: Ernst in der Sache, solidarisch im Umgang.« Vincent Streichhahn, Femina Politica, 1 (2020) »Ashley J. Bohrer presents a compelling and forceful case for thinking about Marxism and intersectionality as distinct traditions that can nonetheless work in concert with one another.« Elizabeth Kovach, KULT_online, 5 (2020) »Ashley Bohrers »Marxism and Intersectionality« is indispensable reading for socialists trying to understand how class, race and gender mesh.« Peter Drucker, Rampant Inc., 24.03.2020 »Ashley J. Bohrer zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie solidarische Kritik gerade nicht zur immer weiteren Spaltung der Linken, sondern im Gegenteil zu besserem gegenseitigen Verständnis und Koalitionen im Kampf gegen Dominanzverhältnisse führen kann.« www.frauensolidaritaet.org, 11 (2019) Besprochen in: https://marxandphilosophy.org.uk, 22.04.2021, Jean-Pierre Reed Besprochen in: https://www.lacittafutura.it, 09.07.2021, Stefano Paterna Science & Society, 4 (2022), Hester Eisenstein https://diefreiheitsliebe.de, 14.12.2022
