A Brief Architectural History of Intersectionality

A Brief Architectural History of Intersectionality

"This article traces an architectural history of intersectionality, from Kimberlé Crenshaw and the DeGraffenreid v. General Motors case of 1976 through current activism on the Louisiana industrial edges of the Mississippi River. The DeGraffenreid case, in which five black women sued General Motors, is analyzed spatially in plan and section. The article locates in intersectionality an argument against fluidity as a dominant organizing spatial concept for this stage of global capitalism."
