What does the development of a truly robust contemporary theory of domination require? Ashley J. Bohrer argues that it is only by considering all of the dimensions of race, gender, sexuality, and ability within the structures of capitalism and imperialism that we can understand power relations as we find them nowadays. Bohrer explains how many of the purported incompatibilities between Marxism and intersectionality arise more from miscommunication rather than a fundamental conceptual antagonism. As the first monograph entirely devoted to this issue, 'Marxism and Intersectionality' serves as a tool to activists and academics working against multiple systems of domination, exploitation, and oppression.

Ashley J. Bohrer (PhD) is an academic, activist, and public intellectual based in New York, where she currently teaches philosophy at Hamilton College. Her research in the fields of philosophy, critical race studies, decolonial theory, intersectional feminism, and Marxism explores the intersections of capitalism, colonialism, racism and hetero/sexism. Bohrer has studied and worked at universities in the United States, France, China, and Germany. As an activist, she is affiliated with various feminist, anti-racist and anti-capitalist grassroots collectives.
