To race, to class, to queer: Jewish feminist contributions to intersectionality studies -- Jewish feminists and new diaspora theorizing: the life and work of Jamaica Kincaid -- Race, gender, class, sexuality and the Jewish Goldbergs in the suburbs -- Ritual encounters of the queer kind: a political analysis of Jewish queer ritual innovation -- Jewish feminism, race, and a sexual justice agenda -- Reproductive justice: costs of increased adoption access -- Conclusion: Jewish race segregation and Jewish feminism.
Summary: "Jewish Feminism and Intersectionality explores a range of opportunities to apply and build intersectionality studies from within the life and work of Jewish feminism in the United States today. Marla Brettschneider builds on the best of what has been done in the field and offers a constructive internal critique. Working from a nonidentitarian paradigm, Brettschneider uses a Jewish critical lens to discuss the ways different politically salient identity signifiers cocreate and mutually constitute each other. She also includes analyses of matters of import in queer, critical race, and class-based feminist studies. This book is designed to demonstrate a range of ways that Jewish feminist work can operate with the full breadth of what intersectionality studies has to offer."--Provided by publisher.
