Beskrivning

What happens to those living at the margins of US politics and policy - trapped between multiple struggles: gender-based violence, poverty, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, mass incarceration and immigration? In this book, Margaret Perez Brower offers the concept of 'intersectional advocacy' to reveal how select organizations addressing gender-based violence are closing policy gaps that perpetuate inequalities by gender, race, ethnicity, and class. Intersectional advocacy is a roadmap for rethinking public policy. The book captures how advocacy groups strategically contest, reimagine, and reconfigure policy institutions using comprehensive new strategies that connect issues together. As these groups challenge traditional ways of addressing the most pressing social issues in the US, they uncover deep inequities that are housed within these institutions. Ultimately, organizations practicing intersectional advocacy illuminate how to redraw the boundaries of policies in ways that transform US democracy to be more representative, equitable, and just.

Recensioner i media

'Intersectional Advocacy is a rare scholarly jewel forged from the combined power of rigorous, multi-method empirical analyses and careful, theoretically grounded thinking. Brower crafts a narrative that is at once rooted in deep knowledge of policy processes and centered on organizations struggling to change policy and build a more just world. Intersectional Advocacy offers crucial insights for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand and transform the structure, constraints, and possibilities of policymaking in the context of multiple, enduring, interlocking systems of oppression.' Jamila Michener, Cornell University
