The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Race and Gender

This handbook explores the complexities of race, gender, and intersectionality within racial capitalism in times of #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, the Chilean uprising, Anti-Muslim racism, backlash against trans and queer politics, and global struggles against modern colonial femicide and extractivism. It offers new ways to think about what is absent/present and why, how erasure works in historical and contemporary theoretical accounts, and how intersectionalities (re)emerge in the politics of race and gender.

This comprehensive handbook delves into the intricate web of global and local entanglements of race, gender, and intersectionality within the framework of racial capitalism, particularly in the context of the #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, Chilean uprising, Anti-Muslim racism, backlash against trans and queer politics, and global battles against modern colonial femicide and extractivism. Contributors offer insightful perspectives on intersectional and decolonial approaches to race and gender research across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Africa, emphasizing the theoretical understanding of how these categories are interconnected, how they operate individually and collectively, and their profound implications.

The book offers fresh insights into the absence/presence, the workings of erasure, and the re-emergence of intersectionalities in the politics of race and gender as new issues arise. It serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities, shedding light on the complex dynamics of lived experiences, theoretical accounts, and the ongoing struggles for social justice and equality.
