Interrogating Intersectionality in the Caribbean Context: Feminist, Anti-Racist and Decolonial Thought and Politics

This paper engages with the concept of intersectionality at a time of great debate around its use, its politics and its relationship to feminist scholarship and praxis. It acknowledges that although a relatively new concept, it builds on a scholarship and grassroots theorizing of anti-racist, radical and feminist scholars and activists that preceded it. Using this frame, the specific and diverse experiences of the Caribbean are examined in the context of these debates, critically examining historical intellectual and political antecedents as well the contemporary context.
