Studying privilege is as central to intersectionality as mapping subordination.

Evidence

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

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s interest in whether solidarity suppresses internal heterogeneity — turning the analytic lens on unmarked/privileged positions is the inverse move.
• QUESTION: The depoliticization warning (Bilge, Mohanty) vs. treating intersectionality as analytic practice — worth chasing whether a depoliticized intersectionality is inherently co-opted.
