“…In applying intersectionality to the context of social movements and activism, scholars have articulated a variety of similar but non-identical concepts such as "intersectional activism" (Doetsch-Kidder 2012), "movement intersectionality" (Roberts and Jesudason 2013), "intersectional mobilization" (Terriquez 2015), "affirmative advocacy" (Strolovitch 2007), and "intersectionally linked fates" (Strolovitch 2007, p. 186). These different terms do not necessarily correspond with variations in thinking on how intersectionality should be used in this arena.…”

Intersectional activism is organizing that addresses more than one structure of oppression in the struggle for social justice. The rise of the Women's March as a massive effort to mobilize women primarily on the basis of gender coincided with calls for it to pay greater attention to intersectionality. This study considers the effectiveness of the Women's March at using intersectional activism as a collective action frame. Drawing on surveys conducted at Women's March events in five cities and four other Washington, DC activist events in 2018, this study examines the extent to which activists think that the movements should place a priority on intersectional activism. The results show that participants in Women's March events were more supportive of prioritizing intersectional activism than were activists at comparable protest events that were not mobilized using intersectional collective action frames. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that ideology may be a barrier to embracing intersectional activism, with more moderate and conservative activists placing a lower priority on intersectionality than did more liberal activists. Women's March activists were more likely to prioritize intersectional activism if they were trans-or LGBTQIA+-identified, or if they had a history of backing intersectionally marginalized causes, than if they did not.

“…Researchers have examined illegality as it relates to the histories of migrations of specific groups (De Genova, ), generational differences in movement organizing (Abrego, ; Chavez, ; Seif, ; Terriquez, ), and local contexts of either protection or hostility (Abrego, ; Marrow, ). Within these histories, scholars have investigated the racial, gendered, and sexual underpinnings of illegality and their impacts on immigrant experiences.…”

The production of trans illegality: Cisnormativity in the U.S. immigration system

Drawing from critical scholarship on immigrant illegality and transgender studies, this paper examines how trans immigrants may be more prone to vulnerabilities in the U.S. immigration system. Cisnormativity, a hierarchical system of power that structures legal, administrative, and policing systems, produces the “hypervisibility” of gender variance. We add to migration scholarship by analyzing how cisnormativity can intersect with the production of immigrant illegalities and can render trans immigrants as hypervisible and, where possible, attend to the ways in which, paradoxically, trans subjectivity is also erased. Trans immigrants can be more susceptible to arrest, criminal prosecution, detention, deportation, blocked paths to citizenship, or adjustment of status. With trans studies' insights on the criminalization of gender variance and administrative documentation, we investigate the particularities of visibility for trans immigrants as they inform legalities and social exclusions. We end with a call for more empirical research on the experiences of trans immigrants and the complex inclusions and exclusions that structure U.S. immigration policy.

“…In reference to Black Feminist Thought, this case study shows hegemonic racialization that engages with other ideals perpetuated by the dominant group that creates disadvantage for subgroups of Black people. Members of these subgroups leverage their “intersectional consciousness” to strategize and affirm the multifaceted nature of their identity as a form of “intersectional mobilization” (Terriquez, ). Thus, I also discuss the ways Maroon women countered colonial ideals about White and Black womanhood.…”

The sociology of antiracism in Black and White

This paper reviews sociological research on antiracism and suggests new directions for the field. Current research indicates although White antiracism constitutes attempts to negotiate privilege, it fails to divest from the systems of power that maintain the current balance of privilege in favor of White supremacy. In contrast, the antiracism of people of color provides some insight into attempts to secure liberation, a complete break from White supremacist power structures. I argue DuBois, Black Feminist Thought, and postcolonial sociology inform a sociology of antiracism that centers people of color rather than Whiteness. To illustrate the nuance of antiracism by people of color, I centered my study on Black antiracism. From this perspective, antiracism emerges as the set of practices that Blacks enact in everyday life to mitigate and confront hegemonic racialization. I suggest that one construct of hegemonic whiteness meant to uphold dominant racial ideology that produces emphasized blackness that facilitates symbolic and physical violence toward Blacks. Although emphasized blackness produces and reinforces constraints on Black antiracism, oppositional blackness exemplifies an ultimate form of antiracism in which Black bodies act as agents of social change through liberatory projects such as marronage and counterhegemonic knowledge production. I conclude this article with a case study of the Windward Maroons of Jamaica to illustrate oppositional blackness as the dynamics of resistance and empowerment that emerge to confront hegemonic whiteness.
