Mary Romero is Professor of Justice Studies and Social Inquiry at Arizona State University, and 110th President of the American Sociological Association
"Employing a sophisticated intersectional approach to introduce
the complexities of intersectionality itself, Romero has achieved a
tour-de-force. Through framing, extensive case examples and
accessible writing, she illustrates how intersectionality enables
us to connect personal troubles to social problems and to see
pathways to change for social justice."
-Lynn Weber, University of South Carolina
"This lucid, jargon-free, and impressively comprehensive book
by a leading scholar in the field is ideal for undergraduate
courses on a wide range of topics, but it is so much more than
that. It is vital reading, showing how inequality can be found in
our own backyard and not just 'out there.' It is something, in
other words, that we all can - and must - do something about."
-Leslie McCall, Graduate Center, City University of New
York
"Theoretically rich and empirically rigorous, Romero's
Introducing Intersectionality is the quintessential
interdisciplinary handbook of intersectionality. The volume is
written in an accessible language which is free of unnecessary
jargon. [...] The wealth of tangible case studies, metaphors,
personal narratives and confrontational discussion points offered
throughout the various chapters of the book are guaranteed to
provoke self-reflective thought and produce the situated knowledge
necessary for establishing an intersectional understanding of our
complex social reality."
-Ethnic and Racial Studies
"The tone of the book is personal and passionate about the
topic of social justice. Indeed, this is what makes the book
appealing: the author talks not only out of her academic knowledge
but also shares her personal experiences in an urgent tone that
calls for action. This might motivate even the least involved
students to consider the way the fabric of social life is unequally
woven together, not a small feat to be achieved by an introductory
book."
