Document Summary
Toward a new vision race, class & gender. Social theorist whose research, scholarship and activism have examined intersecting power relations of race, gender, social class and/or sexuality. Elected 100th president of the american sociological association. Oppression is full of contradictions and thus a need for new thoughts to make sense of the power relations in today"s world. Very easy to say things you don"t mean pay attention to your words and actions. Easy mistake to be confined to narrow definitions of race, class and gender and not to see that these categories intersect and obscure the understanding of oppression. Stereotyping easy understanding of human relations and understanding of each other cuts through labels that make it easier to truly get to know each other. Wrote about power as ideological ideas that make people (specially those without power) believe that their interest is the same than those with power (hegemony).
