Intersectional Challenges to Cohesion? (Paperback)

Paperback. Interrogates the forces that determine who truly "belongs" in an inclusive society, and who remains on its margins. How can a society call itself inclusive while systematically excluding those who do not fit the norm? Intersectional Challenges to Cohesion? critically examines how people are marked as "not belonging" based on multiple, intersecting dimensions of identity: race, gender, disability, migration status, and more. By bringing together diverse academic perspectives, this volume brings to light the lived realities of marginalized individuals at personal and social levels, depicting how systemic exclusion persists despite democratic ideals. Through interdisciplinary research and case studies, the contributors analyze the structures that enforce non-normativity and limit participation and ultimately question the very fabric of social cohesion. Through mapping these intersectional challenges, this book provides crucial insights for scholars and policymakers striving for genuine inclusion.
