Intersectional solidarity

Intersectional solidarity is the awareness in social movements that a person or group can face multiple intersecting oppressions.

Definition

Chandra Talpade Mohanty's Definition

edit

One example is Chandra Talpade Mohanty, a feminist scholar who provides an example of how the logic of intersectional solidarity needs acceptance by recognizing common struggles and natural differences between individuals or groups. Solidarity, Mohanty says, is not a state of being but an achievement, one that requires the ongoing process of making universality based on particularity. It illustrates the need for a political struggle to produce coalitions and solidarities among many borders under what are often presented as radically unequal possibilities for action.[1]

According to Mohanty, solidarity is not static and must be seen as a process. Part of that process is to recognize the diversity among different communities and approach them respectfully while finding areas for collaboration on shared objectives. Mohanty also stresses the importance of coalition-building, thus emphasizing working together by sharing resources or strategizing collectively toward a goal to reach social justice. This method is even better than a bond, cementing the foundation of movements and providing more solution-based approaches against systemic inequities.[1]

An equally significant point in this respect is Mohanty's transnational view, which informs of the global dimensions of intersectional solidarity. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, the struggle against oppression cannot be understood in isolation, so solidarity cannot stop at geographical boundaries. The praxis that Mohanty supports is simply about activists knowing other cultures and fighting in unity but with consideration of their environment.[1]

Patricia Hill Collins' Conceptualization

edit

Sociologist Patricia Hill Collins, in her foundational text on Black feminist thought, reframes the concept of solidarity for social movements as "politics of empowerment." She argues that solidarity is not an outcome of effective activism but rather a prerequisite for a wider social transformation. All this work is meant to reflect on doing more with an awareness of common struggles and the fact that people will gain strength as a movement.[2]

Collins' conceptualization is centered on critical self-reflexivity. These contemplations of identity, lived experience, and the historical tensions between solidarity and wartime collaboration provide a generative mechanism by which people inside and outside a group deepen their empathic understandings of one another. This reflective avenue not only strengthens individual commitment to the journey but also affirms the movement's solidarity. Additionally, it reminds attendees that continuing their work to grow and, in relation, brings the perspectives they each uniquely hold, enriching conversations about struggles for justice with more nuanced approaches.[2]

Collins also reinstates the role of coalitional politics in building solidarity. It unites activists across their overlapping social identities, gathering more people to reinforce each other in voices that can be a more powerful opposition against oppression. It is a coalitional framework that recognizes the intertwined suffering of oppressed communities and strives for more than economic reforms through the arrangement of shared objectives.[2]

Kimberlé Crenshaw's Framing

edit

Kimberlé Crenshaw's original work on intersectionality has focused on understanding how multiple forms of oppression interplay and act accordingly (i.e., intersectional solidarity). Crenshaw explains that to understand the nature of power, a framework that illuminates how different social identities—such as race, gender, and sexual orientation—are needed to merge to produce new modes of domination. This is about viewing issues as not isolated because people's identities overlap, so they cannot be understood entirely through a single axis.[3][4][5]

An integral part of intersectional solidarity is accepting single-issue approaches. Crenshaw's perspectives also remind one that approaches to addressing injustices in social systems must consider the complexities of multiple oppression or plight. Recognizing these intersectional margins will allow advocates to create more holistic plans that alleviate systemic oppression and cultivate an even more inclusive movement.[3][4][5]

Thus, intersectional solidarity advocates while amplifying marginalized voices and allows spaces where everyone from all walks of life can be at the center stage. It calls on people and institutions to participate in a more informed conception of social justice, where all areas of identity are factored into struggles against oppression.[3][4][5]

Ange-Marie Hancock's Definition

edit

Political scientist A. M. Hancock has defined intersectional solidarity as a concept that considers the intersections of various social movements. Although alliance politics roots itself in a specific starting point, this understanding of coalition-building broadens the concept by encouraging different identity groups to work together against multiple forms of oppression. Oppressions are mutually constitutive, a central theme in Hancock's definition. This point of view is based on the understanding that oppressive systems, racism, sexism, and classism do not act independently; they intersect, shape, and inform each other.[6]

Most importantly, collaboration is emphasized across differences, one of the foundations for intersectional solidarity. Hancock's system invites dialogue and relationships between people (and organizations) at identity extremes from one another.[6]

Mari Matsuda's Conceptualization

edit

In her seminal work, the legal scholar Matsuda discusses "asking the other question" to approach social injustices. She challenges a simplified concept of oppression by redirecting the focus and asking about the broader context. Matsuda's approach emphasizes asking questions and demonstrating accountability for social change. Her approach identifies these intersectionalities, viewing problems collectively rather than in silos alone. If one studies sexism, one should be able to ask questions about heterosexism as well because the two often overlap at some point.[7]

Nira Yuval-Davis' Transversal Politics Approach

edit

Yuval-Davis conceptualizes an idea of transversal politics in her elusive work on intersectional solidarity. This method is based on the premise that unique positionality informs each perspective, offering a layered understanding of social issues. Yuval-Davis points this out because she believes that engaging with one's experiences in a richer way means recognizing that knowledge from a one-sided perspective is always limited. The ethos of transversal politics is such that dialogue across differences, not sharing common ground, is its sine qua non. This dialogue goes beyond who is in what role, as it responds to messages and not necessarily identities. In this way, transversal politics moves away from focusing on who is in the room and finds ways to create space for all perspectives that might be useful to create richer conversations regarding social justice and solidarity.[8][9]

In the final analysis, Yuval-Davis encourages reconsidering how one interacts across differences. It questions the assumption that commonalities of identities are premises of solidarity and promotes instead a focus on the struggles people have in common based on the messages they share.[8][9]

Key Components and Characteristics

edit

Identifying Layered and Intersecting Oppressions

edit

At the heart of intersectional solidarity is the awareness that a person or group can face multiple intersecting oppressions. The experiences of women of color, as illuminated by Kimberlé Crenshaw in her landmark writing, "Mapping the Margins,"[4][10] are an example of how racism and sexism converge to produce specific challenges that must be addressed through an intersectional lens in advocacy and support. Through her own analysis, Crenshaw shows how one must approach oppression holistically and consider the multiplicity of issues that oppressors face. She argues that in the end, an understanding of the interrelatedness of oppressions could bring about a more inclusive and, thus, effective solidarity.

Active and Ongoing Process

edit

Intersectional solidarity is more a state for which to constantly reach than it could ever be a state of existence. It requires dedication and participation, whether from individuals or communities. As noted by Mohanty in her seminal text, "Feminism Without Borders,"[1] solidarity is not "a romantic agreement; it has to be practiced as the result of ongoing collective struggle" (p. 268). It is doing so precisely because this interdisciplinarity allows for reflecting the complexities within identities and experiences—diversity becomes a condition for unity.

Critical Self-Reflection

edit

Critical reflection on the self is an essential element of creating intersectional solidarity, for it encourages people to analyze their own positionality within systems of power. In her classic, "Black Feminist Thought,"[2] Patricia Hill Collins stresses that awareness builds understanding of the world around people and is a necessary precursor to all serious involvement in social movements. Recognizing their own privileges allows people to understand and relate to other experiences, ultimately making the collective fight for justice more valuable. As Collins points out, tearing down systems of oppression requires individuals who actively question their assumptions and stereotypes. It takes a humble, open approach because it can result in some rather uncomfortable self-awareness.

Dialogue Across Differences

edit

According to Yuval-Davis (1999)[9], the phrase 'transversal politics' refers to a framework that can be used to hold dialogue with other people who differ from one in some way. It is based on two main concepts: "rooting," connecting with one's identity/live experiences, and "shifting," connecting/empathizing with the experiences of others. Collectively, these principles support a more nuanced understanding of identity and the importance of positionalities in dialogue.

Coalition Building

edit

One crucial piece of intersectional solidarity is coalition building, which brings different identity groups and social movements together to strive toward shared goals and experiences. This joint endeavor is grounded in the understanding that diverse knowledge, perspectives, and approaches can enhance one's social justice work. In elaborating on the need to think outside one in coalition work, Reagon (1983)[11][12] reminds one that coalition work has to be done out there in the streets, not on an individual basis. Another hallmark of effective coalitions is the formation of strategic alliances. These are coalitions formed by organizations that often have different identities and priorities but where a common goal can make them formidable forces for change.

Power Analysis

edit

Power analysis is one of intersectional solidarity's staples that incorporates systems thinking into social movement theories. Cho, Crenshaw, and McCall (2013)[13] elaborated on the importance of intersectionality in understanding how power operates through different axes of identity, including race, gender, and class. Their research highlights the need to scrutinize ways that type of oppression overlaps and interacts with existing power systems. Through an intersectional lens, this highlights that some of the challenges certain groups face are more complex and that injustices can go across multiple demographics. Recognizing these layers of oppression means solidarity movements can find better ways to advocate and create change.

Praxis-Oriented Approach

edit

Intersectional solidarity and a praxis-oriented approach demonstrate the need to translate theoretical bases into an action plan that can contribute to change. This view stresses that understanding intersectionality is not simply a theoretical question but a critical, practical instrument for social movements whose goal is always to link and confront the many sides of oppression. For example, Laperrière and Lépinard (2016)[14] show in their research on the Québécois women's movement how those principles were enacted through organizing practices. Their findings suggest that the movement tried to make intersectional theory a part of its foundational strategies, using an identity-based frame emphasizing representation and inclusion. The movement hoped that creating specific organizing techniques to center intersecting identities' voices and lived experiences could be more impactful and reach a wider audience. Without thinking about what real-world, social-change-oriented outcomes are produced by intersectional solidarity and considering all the potential pitfalls, this concept will not be sustainable in the long term.

Recognition of Differences Between Members of The Same Group

edit

Intersectional solidarity probes essentialist beliefs that frequently collapse intricate identities into one-dimensional plots. For instance, in her first literature review of intersectionality, Nash (2008)[15] criticizes simplistic applications of intersectionality that ignore the differences between groups. She argues for the need to accurately understand the context of these differences for proper advocacy and activism. Without being limited by monolithic representations of the identity categories, one can better appreciate the nuances of how different subgroups' experiences are lost in conversations.

Contextual Sensitivity

edit

Intersectional solidarity also means considering how particular historical, cultural, or geographical contexts shape social categories such as race, gender, class, and sexuality. Anthias (2012)[16] has elaborated a "translocational" perspective of intersectionality, emphasizing the need to consider how these dimensions or social categories interrelate and transform across different contexts. This makes it possible to present a more contextually aware perspective of identity that acknowledges both local and global factors. Aspects of this framework are the multiplicity of cultural and political contexts, attention to context sensitivity, and the view that the importance of intersections may vary across space and time.

Commitment to Comprehensive Sociopolitical Change

edit

Intersectional solidarity is concerned with deep social change and a steadfast commitment towards those aims and what that means for transformational approaches. It is aware of the multi-faceted nature of social problems and that they are not solved in a vacuum, as best practice suggests. In "How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective," Taylor (2017)[17] notes that the members of the Combahee River Collective made a statement of what we now refer to as intersectionality—that liberation can only happen when all forms of oppression (economically, socially, racially, and many more) are discussed together—and if one form is undealt with, then none can find freedom themselves. The Combahee River Collective contends that single-issue or reformist solutions are reductive in failing to capture the complexities of individual lived experiences shaped by intersecting and often competing systems of oppression; thus, a holistic vision is required for social justice. This framework centers on intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class, intending to achieve greater inclusivity in equitable ways. Taylor's interviews uncovered that members of the Collective knew that reforms without addressing root causes of oppression were insufficient, later felt ineffective, and ultimately enshrined more paradigms based on inequalities.

Emotional Labor and Care Work

edit

Both touch upon a central component of intersectional solidarity, which addresses the emotional bandwidth one creates to bridge different communities. In her study of ACT UP, Gould (2009)[18] claims that when activists unite or find consensus in moments of trauma or loss, their emotional labor is paramount to being on the same page and board with acting as a single unit. Focusing on all these aspects allows movements to create conditions where individuals feel appreciated and supported, thus promoting their commitment to the cause. The result is a mutual caring that deepens ties among activists and cushions against the emotional fatigue one may feel after too long of working in difficult social justice work.

The Characteristics that Set Intersectional Solidarity Apart from Other Types of Solidarity

edit

The Power of a Human-Dimensional Approach

edit

Intersectional solidarity focuses on uniting diverse identities and advocating for the prominence of oppressed people in the discussion. Intersectional solidarity uplifts the lived stories of individuals at the intersections of identity, facilitating a context for dialogue where each person's collective stories are given measure, nuance, and significance.[19] And even more, it tries to deconstruct repressive structures within movements of hierarchy where only some persons get to contribute and lead—making a fair and equitable foundation for action together.[20]

Transformative Praxis

edit

Within the framework of transformative praxis rather than in a wholly supportive role, intersectional partnerships go beyond simply embracing competition among all identities to carry out the counteractivity and demonstrate collective resistance[19]. In addition, how these movements articulate issues is unique because it attempts to reflect how systems of oppression—different types and forms—are intertwined.[21]

Focus on Building a Coalition

edit

Grounded in coalition building, intersectional solidarity creates a space for providing support across groups and movements to enhance collective understanding.[22] One example of such an intervention is that of Black and White Men Together (BWMT), where these networks promote mutual solidarity to enable action between different identity groups. Finally, the idea of a dimensionality-gender coalition, also illustrated by BWMT, calls for and represents an opportunity to close the gaps between traditionally discrete organizations (i.e., gay men and feminist lesbians of color), allowing conversations about identity expression and providing the foundation for which shared struggle can take place.[23]

Centering Marginalized Voices

edit

In intersectional solidarity, centering those most affected helps to focus on the importance of elevating narratives often silenced in systemic inequity discussions. Using these techniques helps movements ensure that marginalized communities' voices can be heard and included as part of the conversation, creating a more impactful and holistic approach to activism that recognizes social inequities are intersectional.[24]

Comprehensive Framework of Social Justice

edit

Intersectional solidarity is a comprehensive approach to social justice that recognizes the interconnectedness of different social issues and the need for holistic answers to various problems simultaneously.[25] One of the best illustrations is the work surrounding reproductive justice, in which this coalition addresses reproductive rights issues and interweaves issues of race, class, gender, and economic inequality[19].

Taking Time for Self-reflection and Continual Learning

edit

Intersectional solidarity is built on self-reflection, so activists in movements take the time to look at their own biases and actions and can grow a culture of inclusiveness that healthy movements can.[26] Although it shines light on the need to manage tensions that often accompany organizing across differences through understanding the nuance in different experiences and even skepticism about goals or strategy.

Global Perspective

edit

This interwoven nature of social justice issues means that the nature of intersectional solidarity is transnational in scope and practice. This way of thinking seeks to create not only solidarity but action around the globe by centering the struggles that so many different groups face.[27] As such, intersectional solidarity aims to forge a robust basis for collaboration, drawing on the recognition of not only ones' mutual endangerment in the face of global oppression and inequality modal but also an understanding that any group groping to bring about change has goals overlapping with other groups[26].

Dimensions of Intersectional Solidarity

edit

Cognitive Dimension

edit

Realizing Intersecting Forms of Oppression

edit

Acknowledge Intersectionality in Identities[28]: People exist within multiple marginalized identifiers who need to be recognized and reflected on at the individual, bond, and systemic levels. A case in point would be a person who is both Black and Queer, meaning they have the challenges of being marginalized due to the multiple aspects of their identity. This varies by intersection and creates the need to understand the systemic reasons why at these intersections.

Large Understanding of Systemic Relations[29]: The systems of oppression interact and thus are not separate. They are connected when one is low, and the rest of the systems tend to be also.

Historical Context Awareness[30]: Knowledge of history specifically is necessary to comprehend how and why these various forms of oppression unfold systematically and what enduring impact this has on wider social formations and people individually.

Continual Education[31]: Lastly, pursuing intersectional awareness requires training ones constantly through learning and reflection. Nonetheless, this understanding of the complexities surrounding intersecting oppressions should evolve and shift along social dynamics.

Realization of overlapping oppression and diversity

edit

Common Objectives[32]: Groups should construe and imprint that there are common objectives in the struggles against oppression. Such acknowledgment is vital because the forms of oppression may vary between groups, but it provides solidarity and a unified front in activism and resistance.

Respecting unique experiences[33]: The realization of individual differences lays the foundation for all voices being heard and, thus, for every group-only solution urging complexities to be played out in the dialogue form and strategies applied to counter all forms of oppression.

Refusing an Op-/Sub-Oppression Hierarchy[34]: A key component of recognition is the refusal to arrange different oppressions in a hierarchy.

Emotional Dimension

edit

Empathy Across Different Lived Experiences

edit

Emotional Resonance[35]: Emotional resonance goes far beyond sympathy; it is a compassionate bond. It allows people from different cultures to feel and experience each other with empathy.

Formation of Collective Identities

edit

Common Narratives[36]: Achieving a group identity based on inclusion and diversity requires recognizing and carefully negotiating differences among group members. This will necessitate engaging in dialogues and meeting others where they are—especially those with whom one disagrees.

Rituals and Symbols[37]: Conducting rituals and using symbols that embody common values and beliefs are basic practices aimed at uniting the members of a group with an identity. These not only enable bonding among members but also create a common sense of purpose, which is crucial in developing a strong collective identity.

Difference Negotiation[37]: With these negotiations, groups develop a more dynamic identity that respects the unique individual traits of their members while also seeking similarities that can be accepted and appreciated.

Emotional Investment[35]: This is about forging emotional ties to the collective identity and its goals, a prerequisite for continuity of group cohesion.

Behavioral Dimension

edit

Collaborative Action

edit

Cross-movement Organizing[38]: This involves different social movements joining forces to work on problems that are connected.

Breaking Free from Issue-based Silos[38]: This approach emphasizes the connectedness of social problems and recognizes that they cannot be solved in a vacuum.

Disruption of Power Relationships[38]: Supporters of cross-movement collaborations view these alliances as essential in forging solutions to structural social, political, and economic power inequities that ensure inequality in environmental reproductive health (ERH) and other health and social inequity areas.

Intersectionality as a Tool for Unity[38]: Instead of claims that intersectionality separates one group from another, an analysis where people's identities intersect can result in solidarity and unity between disparate groups. This ideology does not negate the common experience of the oppressed but respects individual experiences.

Sharing of Resources and Support Mutually

edit

Community Support[39]: Experiences from the LGBTQIA+ community in the UK and Brazil, a shared effort to build a response during the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrated how much the presence of every local-led initiative positively impacted individuals facing difficulties.

Meeting Diverse Needs[40]: Mutual aid responses recognize that marginalized communities are not monolithic, and efforts focused on mutual aid reflect this.

Collectivized care[41]: This framework suggests that individuals' power to provide for themselves is highly limited and emphasizes a collective approach.

Freedom Dreaming[42]: The approach nurtures the hope and inspiration needed to pursue long-range projects dedicated to social change.

Challenges to Intersectional Solidarity

edit

Inter-Group Tensions: Power Dynamics within Movements

edit

These include achieving balance and the voice of all groups in a movement. When everyone represents a group to be included, it becomes easier for other groups to overshadow decision-making or put their own perspectives in the spotlight while marginalizing others.[49] Another is that the interweaving of identities can add layers of hierarchy to movements.[50] For those with more than one marginalized identity, ensuring their voice is heard or their needs are met can be even more challenging.

Opposition And Pressure From Outside

edit

External pressures and opposition against intersectional solidarity movements heighten internal tensions and threaten their effectiveness. Intersectional movements are met with efforts by dominant groups to conserve their power and privilege. Such opposition may manifest itself in political, social, cultural, and economic resistance. Pressure from outside groups can sometimes solidify walls between marginalized populations, but it can also heighten tensions.[51]

Clash of Priorities and Allocation of Resources

edit

Intersectional movements are often confronted with the difficult task of balancing many varied needs and then allocating scarce resources. This is, in part, because coalition groups often have competing interests or visions for change.[52] Additionally, resource constraints might expose cracks between movements or other groups. Scarcity resources spurring competition undermine solidarity building and pit similar groups with similar missions and values against one another. This can cause friction within the groups orienting towards different horizons of time or levels of radicalization.[53]
