"Sociologist Patricia Hill Collins has been called in Contemporary Sociology "one of the defining voices of contemporary feminist and race scholarship." Well known for her contributions to sociology, social theory, and cultural studies, her numerous publications indicate why she has been a tireless voice for social justice causes such as the dynamics of race, social class, gender, and sexual equality, and also black feminist politics. In On Intellectual Activism, Collins asks scholars and public intellectuals to assess the meaning of their work. She challenges readers to rethink the potential of speaking truth to power, and examines both the role of the intellectual in public life and how well questions of contemporary social issues are communicated to the public at large. The contents of this volume -- public lectures, previously published pieces, interviews, and new essays -- illustrate the important conceptual anchors of Collins' work and reflect on the major themes of her illustrious career. These timely and thought-provoking essays include topics ranging from black feminist thought, critical education, public sociology, and resisting racism to new visions for activist intellectuals."--

This essay explores how developing more complex analyses of power and politics sheds light on important themes for both intersectionality and participatory democracy. Drawn from intersectional inquiry, Part I, "Hidden in Plain Sight: Hypervisible Power and Invisible Politics," outlines three focal points of a provisional power analytic: (1) how analyses of intersecting, structural oppressions underpin systems of domination; (2) how a domains-of-power framework provides a set of conceptual tools for analyzing and responding to intersecting power relations; and (3) how a more robust analysis of the collective illuminates the political action of subordinated groups.

This essay explores how developing more complex analyses of power and politics sheds light on important themes for both intersectionality and participatory democracy. Drawn from intersectional inquiry, Part I, "Hidden in Plain Sight: Hypervisible Power and Invisible Politics," outlines three focal points of a provisional power analytic: (1) how analyses of intersecting, structural oppressions underpin systems of domination; (2) how a domains-of-power framework provides a set of conceptual tools for analyzing and responding to intersecting power relations; and (3) how a more robust analysis of the collective illuminates the political action of subordinated groups. ; Este ensayo explora cómo desarrollar de manera más compleja un análisis de poder y políticas que arroje luz tanto sobre las cuestiones relativas a la interseccionalidad como a la profundización democrática. En primer lugar, y desde la investigación interseccional, el articulo esboza tres puntos centrales de un análisis de poder: cómo el análisis de la intersección de las opresiones estructurales sustenta los sistemas de dominación; cómo el framework de los dominios de poder aporta herramientas conceptuales para examinar y responder a relaciones de poder entrecruzadas, y cómo un análisis más robusto de lo colectivo ilumina la acción política de los grupos subordinados. Desde este análisis, el ensayo examina el poder y las políticas desde el punto de vista de las tradiciones de resistencia de los grupos subordinados históricamente, especialmente la acción política de las mujeres Afroamericanas. Por último, el artículo discute las implicaciones de un análisis de poder interseccional para proyectos de interseccionalidad y participación democrática. A este respecto, la conceptualización interseccional del feminismo Negro en términos flexibles y pragmáticos constituye un importante punto de partida para un compromiso más profundo con la democracia participativa como una alternativa a las agendas técnicas del estado.

What is the state of race and ethnic studies today? How has the field emerged? What are the core concepts, debates and issues? This panoramic, critical survey of the field supplies researchers and students with a vital resource

Partant du constat du silence des femmes noires sur leur sexualité, de l'invisibilité ou du traitement partiel de cet objet dans les recherches noires ou féministes en général, ce texte dresse le tableau des différentes approches possibles de la sexualité, celle des femmes noires en particulier. Si la sexualité peut se penser comme un système d'oppression autonome parallèle aux autres systèmes de race, de classe, de nation, de genre, on peut aussi la penser comme élément particulier de chaque système spécifique d'oppression. Mais l'analyse de la pornographie, de la prostitution, du viol invite plutôt à la penser comme 'site d'intersectionnalité' où se rencontrent et s'entrecroisent différents systèmes d'oppression.
