Kimberle Crenshaw – författare

In the past few years, a new generation of progressive intellectuals has dramatically transformed how law, race, and racial power are understood and discussed in America. Questioning the old assumptions of both liberals and conservatives with respect to the goals and the means of traditional civil rights reform, critical race theorists have presented new paradigms for understanding racial injustice and new ways of seeing the links between race, gender, sexual orientation, and class. This reader, edited by the principal founders and leading theoreticians of the critical race theory movement, gathers together for the first time the movement's most important essays.

Since the movement’s founding in 2014, #SayHerName has gained international attention and has served as both a rallying cry and organizing principle in the aftermath of police killings of Black women, including, most recently, the police killing of Breonna Taylor. Black women, girls, and femmes as young as seven and as old as ninety-three have been killed by the police, though we rarely hear their names or learn their stories. Breonna Taylor, Alberta Spruill, Rekia Boyd, Shantel Davis, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carey, Michelle Cusseaux, and Tanisha Anderson are among the many lives that should have been. The #SayHerName campaign lifts up the stories of these women and girls in order to build a gender-inclusive framework for understanding, discussing, and combating police violence. Without this knowledge, we cannot have a full understanding of the wide-ranging circumstances that make Black bodies disproportionately subject to police violence, and we cannot understand the ways in which racialized policing and gendered violence intersect and produce lethal consequences. #SayHerName provides an analytical framework for understanding Black women's susceptibility to police brutality and state-sanctioned violence, and it explains how—through black feminist storytelling and ritual—we can effectively mobilize various communities and empower them to advocate for racial justice. Including Black women in police violence and gender violence discourses sends the powerful message that, in fact, all Black lives matter and that the police cannot kill without consequence.This is a powerful story of Black feminist practice, community-building, enablement, and Black feminist reckoning.

A ground-breaking collection applying Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality to the black diasporic experience in Britain.In the 1980s, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw first coined the term ‘intersectionality’. Since then, the concept has spread across national and disciplinary boundaries, and has had a transformative impact on the way in which we understand identity and the experience of discrimination. But outside the US, the application of intersectional theory has largely been disconnected from any analysis of ‘Blackness’, despite intersectionality’s origins in critical race theory (CRT). Curated by Crenshaw, Andrews and Wilson as well as several of the leading scholars of CRT, this collection bridges that gap, and is the first to apply both these concepts to contexts outside the US. Focusing on Blackness in Britain, the contributors examine how scholars and activists are employing intersectionality to foreground Black British experiences. Its essays encompass key issues such as gender and Black womanhood, issues of representation within contemporary British culture, and the position of Black Britons within institutions such as the family, education and health. The book also looks to the role intersectionality can play in shaping future political activism, and in forging links beyond ‘Blackness’ to other social movements.

Ungleiche Geschlechterverhältnisse sind noch immer tief in unsere Gesellschaft eingeschrieben. Der Kampf für die Befreiung der Frau von patriarchaler Unterdrückung, wirtschaftlicher Abhängigkeit und Sexismus sowie für soziale Gleichheit steht nach wie vor auf der Tagesordnung jeder wahrhaften emanzipativen und progressiven Bewegung.Die Wiener Forscherin Julia Harnoncourt versammelt in ihrem Band "Für die Befreiung der Frau" Schriften und Analysen von Aktivistinnen und Theoretikerinnen aus zwei Jahrhunderten des Kampfes. Von den Kämpferinnen der ArbeiterInnenbewegung bis zu den Feministinnen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, von der afroamerikanischen Frauenbewegung bis zu den Vertreterinnen des Globalen Südens, von Clara Zetkin und Simone de Beauvoir bis zur Zweiten Frauenbewegung der 1970er Jahre wird versucht, möglichst viele verschiedene Analyse- und Lösungsansätze zu Wort kommen zu lassen.So zum Beispiel die Frage nach biologischem und sozialem Geschlecht oder nach gerechter Verteilung. Ein weiteres wichtiges Thema ist das Verhältnis von Frauen zur Arbeit, wobei Haus- und Pflegearbeit besonders kontrovers diskutiert wird. Der Slogan "Das Private ist politisch" betrifft nicht nur die Hausarbeit, sondern auch den weiblichen Körper, Liebe und Sexualität. Im Kampf gegen die Ungleichheit stellt sich schließlich auch die Frage, mit wem überhaupt zusammen gekämpft werden kann. Können Männer die Interessen von Frauen vertreten? Und können von Rassismus oder globaler Ungleichheit betroffene Frauen mit weißen Frauen aus dem Norden gemeinsam um ihre Rechte kämpfen, wenn alle unterschiedliche Erfahrungen machen?Das Buch "Befreiung der Frau" versammelt verschiedene Perspektiven und Antworten aus unterschiedlichen feministischen Kämpfen und Regionen der Welt.

¿Cuáles son las vinculaciones entre los feminismos y el derecho? ¿Qué entendemos por "feminismos jurídicos"? ¿Cuáles son las implicancias de pensar y hacer derecho desde este anclaje político? ¿Qué supone una lectura feminista jurídica situada? ¿Cómo se articulan las vías de recepción e inventiva feminista entre textos y problemas del Norte y Sur globales? Estas cuestiones, entre tantas otras, sustentan la arquitectura del libro. La traducción al castellano de cuatro artículos centrales del feminismo jurídico estadounidense, en las plumas de Kimberlé Crenshaw, Mary Joe Frug, Katherine Franke, Dean Spade y Craig Willse, revelan una apuesta por expandir los canales de circulación de discusiones labradas por los Feminist Legal Studies. Los comentarios que prosiguen a esas traducciones resguardan que esa expansión se dirija hacia recepciones posibles y a nuevas escrituras en estudios feministas del derecho en América Latina. Cada uno de los textos, las traducciones y sus comentarios delimita y propone asuntos dilemáticos que nos interpelan y nos mueven a pensar en las continuidades y disrupciones de los feminismos jurídicos según las latitudes, los momentos, los escenarios jurídico-políticos y los encuadres de la academia legal. Cada conjunto de problemas señala diversos recorridos de la producción jurídica feminista y marca una serie de contenidos y preguntas vigentes que ayudan a delinear la práctica docente, la praxis activista, la escritura y los debates iusfeministas.
