520 "Via a wide range of case studies, this book examines new
forms of resistance to social injustices in contemporary
Western societies. Resistance requires agency, and agency
is grounded in notions of the subject and subjectivity.
How do people make sense of their subjectivity as they are
constructed and reconstructed within relations of power?
What kinds of subjectivities are needed to struggle
against forms of dominance and claim recognition? The
participants in the case studies are challenging forms of
dominance and subordination grounded in class, race,
culture, nationality, sexuality, religion, age, disability
and other forms of social division. It is a premise of
this book that new and/or reconstructed forms of
subjectivity are required to challenge social relations of
subordination and domination. Thus, the transformation of
subjectivity as well as the restructuring of oppressive
power relations is necessary to achieve social justice. By
examining the construction of subjectivity of particular
groups through an intersectional lens, the book aims to
contribute to theoretical accounts of how subjects are
constituted and how they can develop a critical distance
from their positioning"--|cProvided by publisher
