Document Summary

Is also a method employed by activists to try to get a better understanding of how we resist power relations in a way that does justice to peoples everyday oppression. Rooted within radical critique of power that seeks to understand how power relations work and how to change it. Very close connection between everyday lived lives and to challenge them. Marks another way of creating an understanding black women"s experiences in oppression. Theres categories like sex, race, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity (5) are in the canadian human rights code (who you can discriminate against, who is protected) Ex: a liberal feminism privileges gender, a radical feminist privileges sexuality. Kimberly chrenshaw = black legal scholar/critique, her question = why does the law have so many limits, can"t go far enough to deal with the complexities of black women"s oppression. Black male workers, white women secretaries = basic.
