Centralizing Black Migrant Refugee women’s agency and representation in the Netherlands; Development of intersectional theory a nd praxis in the Netherlands; Foundational text/Feminist Classic First published in March 2001, this work was the first and only book of its kind in the Dutch intellectual landscape, and it rapidly became a classic for multigenerational audiences with an interest in intersectional theory and praxis. By zooming in on the issues that Black, migrant, and refugee (BMR) women placed on the feminist and multicultural agenda of the late twentieth century, the writers in this volume highlight the exclusionary practices BMR women encountered within Dutch institutions (the police, education, and the arts) based on their gender, race, class, and sexuality. Kaleidoscopic Visions also delves into the world of BMR women’s organizations and processes of identity formation.
This new edition makes this Dutch feminist classic available in English for the first time. It includes an updated reflection on the contemporary relevance of intersectionality in the light of important developments since 2001, such as the rise of Islamophobia and persisting neo-liberalism.
