Is Intersectionality New? (hexbear.net)

i think a lot about just how many people fascism and the right are alienating and trying to oppress

and i really wonder if everyone else in history didn't have the same kind of sense. i dont think they did, but is that our 'enlightened' bias? did thomas mueztner expect peasant women to be an integral part of his peasant rebellion???

but anyway intersectionality and firearms are what really give me hope so dont ruin that for me

The Chicago Black Panther Party was doing intersectionality with feminists, a group of Puerto Rican activists called the Young Lords and poor whites known as the the Young Patriots in the 60s.

There's a decent documentary on it called The First Rainbow Coalition that was produced by the Zinn Project.

also American Revolution 2 is a great docu

i do consider second half 20th century as "recent" and the sort of activism of that period as directly related to modern intersectionality.

e: not that this is irrelevant, anyone with a smidgeon of questions abt this topic need to go to these sources. this is where intersectionality was born and its the coolest
