Lethal Intersections Race, Gender, and Violence

"The brilliant Patricia Hill Collins has written another must-read book, theorizing the relationship between power, intersectional violence, and inequality in expansive ways. It's a tour de force!"
--Joya Misra, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
 
"Black feminists always benefit from anything Patricia Hill Collins writes. In her latest book, she brilliantly connects disparate practices of violence through an intersectional Black feminist lens. This is a valuable addition to the discourse on antiviolence movement-building."
--Loretta J. Ross, academic, feminist, and activist
 
"Once again Patricia Hill Collins demonstrates the power and potential of feminist analysis that is always attentive to the structural ubiquity of racial capitalism and to interrelationalities that defy geographical borders, political boundaries, and epistemological limits.
--Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz
 
"Lethal Intersections shows how virtually every instance of premature death can reveal the inner workings of power. Early death is the ultimate expression of social injustice. Instead of accepting this inequality as natural or inevitable, Collins urges readers to reject complacency and demand more of democratic governments to protect us from untimely death and to promote our collective wellbeing."
--Christine Williams, The University of Texas at Austin
 
"A profoundly inviting and compelling account of intersectional violence. Collins leaves no one behind in this analysis, which makes the book an act of resistance in and of itself."
--Patrick R. Grzanka, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
