Sample Book Insights:
#1 Intersectionality is a way of understanding and analyzing the complexity in the world, in people, and in human experiences. It is a term that has stuck, and it is used by stakeholders to describe their understandings of intersectionality.
#2 Intersectionality is a useful analytic tool for thinking about and developing strategies to achieve campus equity. It is not a new phenomenon, and people in the Global South have used it as an analytical tool.
#3 Intersectionality is used as a heuristic tool to address many different issues and social problems. It is a core insight that major axes of social divisions in a given society at a given time, for example, race, class, gender, sexuality, and age, operate not as discrete and mutually exclusive entities, but build on each other and work together.
#4 The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was a huge success, but the costs associated with hosting the event came at a high price. The exorbitant cost of stadiums, the displacement of urban dwellers for construction, and the embezzlement of public funds became a new theme at the forefront of public protests.

#1

Intersectionality is a way of understanding and analyzing the complexity in the world, in people, and in human experiences. It is a term that has stuck, and it is used by stakeholders to describe their understandings of intersectionality.

#2

Intersectionality is a useful analytic tool for thinking about and developing strategies to achieve campus equity. It is not a new phenomenon, and people in the Global South have used it as an analytical tool.

#3

Intersectionality is used as a heuristic tool to address many different issues and social problems. It is a core insight that major axes of social divisions in a given society at a given time, for example, race, class, gender, sexuality, and age, operate not as discrete and mutually exclusive entities, but build on each other and work together.

#4

The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was a huge success, but the costs associated with hosting the event came at a high price. The exorbitant cost of stadiums, the displacement of urban dwellers for construction, and the embezzlement of public funds became a new theme at the forefront of public protests.

#5

Intersectionality is a tool that can be used to examine the organization of power. It identifies how power relations are intertwined and mutually constructing. It can be used to better understand the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

#6

Power relations are about people's lives, how they relate to one another, and who is advantaged or disadvantaged within social interactions. Football is a people's sport, which means it can be played by almost anyone. It requires no special equipment or training, only a ball and enough players to field two teams.

#7

Power operates by disciplining people in ways that put their lives on paths that make some options seem viable and others out of reach. For example, African boys who want to play football in Europe are vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous recruiters.

#8

The idea of a level or flat playing field is crucial for this frame to remain plausible. Without it, the myth of a level playing field would be shattered, revealing the fact that social divisions exist.

#9

The message of mass-media spectacles goes beyond any one event. The competitive and repetitive nature of contests, such as the World Cup and the Olympics, reflects intersecting power relations of capitalism and nationalism.

#10

Fair play is the ethos of football, but how fair is FIFA itself. It has organized the populist sensibility of football into a highly profitable global network.

#11

The Eighteenth International Sociological Association World Congress of Sociology was held in Yokohama, Japan, from July 13-19, 2014. In his presidential address, Michael Burawoy, a distinguished Marxist scholar, argued that inequality was the most pressing issue of our time.

#12

The intersectionality approach to analyzing global inequality helps explain how social divisions, such as race, gender, age, and citizenship status, impact the way people are positioned in the world.

#13

Using intersectionality as an analytical tool expands upon class-only explanations for global economic inequality. It reveals how race, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and citizenship are interconnected and affect economic inequality.

#14

Neoliberalism is grounded in the belief that markets, in and of themselves, are better able than governments to produce fair and sensible economic outcomes. The state practices associated with neoliberalism differ dramatically from those of social welfare states.

#15

Citizens within democratic nation-states with strong social welfare traditions find themselves facing a dilemma: how will their respective states continue to endorse social welfare policies, while still being competitive in the global marketplace.

#16

The festival, Latinidades, was inclusive of all attendees, even the youngest ones. It had elements of an academic symposium, a political organizing event, and a mass-music festival rolled into one.

#17

Latinidades was a festival that emphasized the importance of African diasporic cultural traditions, especially in Brazil. It was a success, and its very existence represented one highly visible moment of an Afro-Brazilian women’s movement that took several decades to build.

#18

Black women in Brazil challenged the country's national identity narrative concerning racial democracy, and saw the historical interconnections between ideas about race and Brazil's nation-building project.

#19

Intersectionality helps shed light on how women of African descent are situated within gendered and sexualized understandings of Brazilian history and national identity.

#20

Intersectionality is a powerful analytical tool that can be used to understand the different experiences of different groups within a given society. In Brazil, it was used to understand the different experiences of women and blacks within the country, and how they were treated differently within both the feminist and Black movements.
