Triple Oppression Annotated Bibliography
Triple oppression is a theory developed by Claudia Jones. This theory was developed in order to have a better understanding of multiple oppressions that people go through all around the world. It can be seen in the United States, Spanish Speaking countries, and even parts of Africa. Triple oppression usually consists of classism, racism, and sexism. It lends itself to intersectionality and how women are often the one's going through barriers and often all at the same time.

This journal evaluates the meaning of Triple Oppression and underlines how it used in the American world we live in. Claudia Jones is the founder of the term. It gives a detailed account of how the Communist party understood the dynamics of Black women in America and how this played a big role in a global aspect. Claudia Jones writes specifically how about “Triple Oppression” and “Triple Exploitation” can be used interchangeably in order to fully understand the severity of class, gender, and race that was unique to black women.

The article discusses the history of triple oppression and how it came to be. It discusses how black women who wanted to speak their mind and become more present in the political field tried to find an outlet to do so. Even though available, they did not use terms like feminism or even black feminism due to the connotation associated with those words. Instead they educated themselves on the many difficulties that black had at the time and formatted a group all their own to one day claim equality.
Flepp, Caroline. “Women Under Apartheid; ‘a triple oppression.’” Unesco Courier. N.p., Apr. 2011. Web. 13 Oct. 2016.
The author describes life for African women in South Africa. In South Africa the Apartheid system is meant to keep women of color down while white men and women in the area profit off the work force of the poor, colored, and specifically women who tend to work back braking odds and ends to make a living. Triple Oppression doesn’t just affect black women in America, but takes its origins from a place where separatism and colonial division started.

The article explores how intersectionality plays many role in the lives of women around the world. Some of these intersections include sex, class, gender, ethnicity, etc. it also gives understanding of how this can play a role on how women of different intersections participate in a political climate and the difficulty in this. The author goes into detail about the responsibility we a citizens of any country have to make sure everyone feels included in the political arena no matter the intersectionality of the individual.
Fong (1997) "Asian-American Women: An Understudied Minority," The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare: Vol. 24: Iss. 1, Article 7. http://scholarworks.wmich.edu/jssw/vol24/iss1/7
The journal describes the path Asian- American have found to better understand the complexity of their own intersectionality and how it affects life in America. Asian- Americans are often forgotten about when speaking about minority groups due to visibility or lack thereof of their oppression and how it stakes up to others in the country. Between national quotas allowing only certain Asians into the country to regressive labor force, Asian- American women have fought for the right to speak about their intersectionality and how it plays a part in triple oppression.

This Theses paper complies the work of Audre Lorde and many other black lesbians in order to create a dialogue about breaking the silence of those who are oppressed. She describes Ms. Lorde’s interpretation of lesbian women becoming free to express themselves only by acknowledging the existence through their own survival in society. She gives clear example of how lesbian women are often portrayed as the lonely woman and remains to not acknowledge that black women to are lesbians and deserve to speak up their experiences as a person with multiple oppressions.Sberkley (talk) 20:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Draft #1
Triple Oppression
Triple oppression is a theory development that people can be oppressed by a multitude of categories including class, race, and gender. It also shows how all of these categories intertwine with one another in daily life experiences and different cultures around the world. Triple Oppression was developed by Claudia Jones to help give a better representation to the ever evolving radical working class and black organizations that included black feminism ideology. Although Claudia Jones started this ideology to show the differences in feminism, communism, and world struggles it has expanded of the years to not only include black women, but other minority groups including Asian- American, Naïve American, and Latino. This theory also was developed in order to have a better understanding of multiple oppressions that people go through all around the world by looking in depth at the United States, Spanish Speaking countries, and even parts of Africa. Although Triple oppression usually consists of classism, racism, and sexism, it lends itself to intersectionality and how women are often the one's going through barriers and often all at the same time.
