Interpreting Intersectionality - Interpretative Politics in Metacommentaries

This book explores the genre of metacommentaries as critical responses to the development of intersectionality as a paradigm, contending that far from re-connecting intersectionality with its roots and enabling it to realise its potential, such critiques bind the scholarly discourse to an either/or argumentative dynamic.
