This book presents a guide to researching intersectionality. Clear and jargon-free, this book introduces a narrative-driven, scalar, and polyvocal approach to the antiracist–feminist framework. Thimm shows students how intersectionality can be used as a methodology, especially in the analysis of multiple ‘identities’.
This text considers complex social inequalities as parallel to one another – not only gender, race, class, and age, but also ethnicity, sibling seniority, religion, or educational attainment. Readers will learn how to investigate, in a methodologically structured way, the interwoven realities of life for different people and population groups simultaneously permeated by marginalization and dominance.
With multiple-social-scale analysis and deep discussion of how to conduct data collection, evaluation, and write-up, this book will be of interest to students, early-career scholars, and faculties teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in women’s, gender, queer, and ethnic studies. Courses in anthropology, sociology, political science and, beyond that, engaged research on how people are marginalized or privileged given their axes of identification, will also find the book an invaluable resource.

Embracing Faith and Desire investigates the intersection of gender, sexuality, and religion from an anthropological lens. Taking women’s, non-binary, and queer religious life-worlds in Muslim and Christian contexts as a cross-cutting research theme, the book brings together scholars from different disciplines and regional contexts who are interested in the interconnectedness of gender dynamics, queerness, and religious principles.
The explosive growth of contesting religions, especially in a Christian-Muslim context, represents a distinctively religious-political dynamic within globalization. It disrupts the global world order, influences hegemonic negotiations within and across nation-states, and shapes self-imaginations and practices of social actors. Consequently, it carries far-reaching political, religious, economic, and social ramifications. Embracing Faith and Desire explores these ramifications on various levels. The volume thereby contributes to debates on intersectionality, queer, and religious approaches alike by showcasing how the scopes and scales of action and the constructive shaping of self-images, social relations, and political actions of people are fundamentally dependent upon religious, gendered, and sexualized backgrounds.
Embedding the contributions in the anthropology of religion, anthropology of gender, and queer anthropology, the book reconfigures our understanding of lived religion through the lens of gendered and queered imaginations, practices, and ideologies.

This book investigates ways of dressing, style and fashion as gendered and embodied, but equally as “religionized” phenomena, particularly focusing on one significant world religion: Islam. Through their clothing, Muslims negotiate concepts and interpretations of Islam and construct their intersectionally interwoven position in the world. Taking the interlinkages between ‘fashionized religion,’ ‘religionized fashion,’ commercialization and processes of feminization as a starting point, this book reshapes our understanding of gendered forms of religiosity and spirituality through the lens of gender and embodiment. Focusing mainly on the agency and creativity of women as they appropriate ways of performing and interpreting various modalities of Muslim clothing and body practices, the book investigates how these social actors deal with empowering conditions as well as restrictive situations.
Foregrounding contemporary scholars’ diverse disciplinary, theoretical and methodological approaches, this book problematizes and complicates the discursive and lived interactions and intersections between gender, fashion, spirituality, religion, class, and ethnicity. It will be relevant to a broad audience of researchers across gender, sociology of religion, Islamic and fashion studies.
