More than identity politics, intersectionality regards the
inability of institutional structures to remedy discrimination
because of the intersection between social dynamics which are often
discretely conceived (Crenshaw & Dill, 2009). For a set of
Black women workers in the manufacturing context, the court found
that they were not discriminated against on the basis of their
race, because Black male workers were hired for manufacturing
positions. Those Black women were not discriminated against because
of their gender, because there were White women hired for the front
office. Those Black women workers were caught at the intersections
of race and gender discrimination laws and left their employment
without an effective remedy (Crenshaw, 1989). This intersection
metaphor is worth examining in the higher education context as we
consider that the majority of students on most U.S. campuses are
women (Allen, Dean, & Bracken, 2008), and an increasing number
of these women are not White; yet, most campuses have support
services targeted at African American and/or multicultural student
affairs and women's services which are generally targeted at White
women. This volume will focus on the subpopulation of Black female
college students, examining institutional and non-institutional
supports for their persistence to the undergraduate degree.
