Document Summary
Inter focuses on the complexity of relationships among multiple social groups within and across analytical categories and not on complexities with single social groups or sin- gle categories. Intra are interlocking and need one another. How domestic workers and professional women are produced so that neither exists without the other. The conception of the relation between oppressions as interlocking predates the appear- ance of the intersectional model of identity. Interlocking focuses too much on the system and not the subject. Intersectional focuses too much on the subject and not enough on the system. Model of political identity that captures the particular social location of the hyper-op- pressed. Describes the empirical socio-historical fact that feminist and antiracist politics have functioned in tandem to marginalize the issues facing black women. Gender oppression oppression suffered by white women. Race oppression oppression suffered by black men. Forced white bourgeois feminists to confront their race and class privilege.
