Intersectionality reveals unmarked privileged positions and aids broad inclusive alliances.
Evidence
I have therefore argued that intersectional perspective should be more widely employed in social movement research, especially to understand obstacles to and opportunities for creating and maintaining broad and inclusive alliances. Intersectional perspectives make the unmarked, privileged, and normative positions of white, male, middle‐class, heterosexual constituencies visible (Carbado, 2013; Choo & Ferree, 2010). While some warn that extending the use of the concept intersectionality might depoliticize it (Bilge, 2013, 2014; Mohanty, 2013), I understand intersectionality as an analytic strategy and a form of critical practice (Hill Collins, 2015). — Silke Roth, Intersectionality and coalitions in…, 380
