"Altogether, this book is an excellent illustration of the potential of intersectional analysis to further understand and address inequality in the U.S. It unveils relationships of power that traditional studies of inequality often miss by treating inequalities separately. Most importantly, the book shows the importance of establishing how inequalities intersect in order to better guide the complex actions and tailored interventions that their perverse enmeshing requires."(Journal of American Ethnic History) "Altogether, this book is an excellent illustration of the potential of intersectional analysis to further understand and address inequality in the U.S. It unveils relationships of power that traditional studies of inequality often miss by treating inequalities separately.
