A long and ongoing challenge for social justice movements has been
how to address difference. Traditional strategies have often
emphasized universalizing messages and common identities as means
of facilitating collective action. Feminist movements, gay
liberation movements, racial justice movements, and even labour
movements, have all focused predominantly on respective singular
dimensions of oppression. Each has called on diverse groups of
people to mobilize, but without necessarily acknowledging or
grappling with other relevant dimensions of identity and
oppression. While focusing on commonality can be an effective means
of mobilization, universalist messages can also obscure difference
and can serve to exclude and marginalize groups in already
precarious positions. Scholars and activists, particularly those
located at the intersection of these movements, have long advocated
for more inclusive approaches that acknowledge the significance and
complexity of different social locations, with mixed success.
Gender Mobilizations and Intersectional Challenges provides a much
needed intersectional analysis of social movements in Europe and
North America. With an emphasis on gendered mobilization, it looks
at movements traditionally understood and/or classified as
singularly gendered as well as those organized around other
dimensions of identity and oppression or at the intersection of
multiple dimensions. This comparative study of movements allows for
a better understanding of the need for as well as the challenges
