Abstract

The appeal of these multi-volume and multidisciplinary conference proceedings is that they also present empirical studies, which examine a broad range of topics with regard to intersectionality, in addition to theoretical reflections. The proceedings consider e.g. prostitution and human trafficking, early modern lawsuits, French activists, or the post-colonial society of Tahiti. In doing so, they not only address anglophone but also francophone discussions. It is also important to note that the proceedings collect mainly contributions by young researchers. The focus on intersectionality and criticism follows controversial assessments of the intersectionality debate.
