Intersectionality has often been interpreted in the field, qua norms of equality and antidiscrimination, as a theory of identities. It is thus divorced from the structural analysis of identity-categories that is at the heart of intersectionality theory’s theoretical and methodological framework. This misreading of intersectionality plays into the way in which it is invoked in international human rights law as simply focusing on identity-categories instead of the structures of disadvantage associated with one or several of them simultaneously. This chapter aims to refocus on a systems-based understanding of intersectionality, with the aim of illuminating the lived reality and experience of human rights between different groups of people. This systems-based understanding of intersectionality involves balancing the attention to identities with an inquiry into the relationships of power that underpin those identities. The chapter thereby excavates what may be the actual significance of intersectionality theory for the purposes of human rights, especially beyond equality and antidiscrimination law, which is often limited to focusing on identity-categories.","PeriodicalId":266444,"journal":{"name":"Intersectionality and Human Rights Law","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128991605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
