What, specifically, does it mean to say that race, class, and gender (and additional social identities and experiences) intersect?Can we think of particular examples from our readings?As we’ll see, both Fanon and Davis call attention to the ways that capitalism as a political-economic system effects individuals and groups differently with respect to race and gender positions. Fanon and Davis also contend that capitalism is not simply a class system; the class dynamics of capitalism are also always race and gender dynamics. Still, some political and social scholars and activists argue in favor of centering particular identities and locations over others in political analysis (e.g., focusing on class first and foremost, focusing on gender first and foremost, etc.)Does an emphasis on one variable over others help to focus our political understandings and interventions?Or does an emphasis on one variable over others limit our ability to understand and intervene in political matters? Does it make sense to speak of social identities and experiences as singular or separate ‘variables’ in the first place? Yes? No? It Depends?
