This Bridge Called Utopia: Intersectional Feminism and/as Queer Futurity

This Bridge Called Utopia: Intersectional Feminism and/as Queer Futurity

The danger lies in ranking the oppressions.

—Cherrié Moraga

Dean Kritikos Adjunct Professor St. John University Published prior to the nominal theorization of intersectionality1 , Cherrié Moraga’s and Gloria Anzaldúa’s watershed collectionThis Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (1981) set a stage for the wordthat would invigorate first feminism, then critical theory more broadly, in the years to come.Intersectionality, in the broadest sense, is the notion that no one marker of identity is separate from any other—that one is not just a man or woman, or anything in-between or beyond, for instance, without also being a specific color, having a particular socio-economic-status, and identifying and/or being inscribed into one or more sexualities. Understanding any of these differentiations in isolation is not only inaccurate but also violent. By trailblazing for women of color and indigenous women in the field of feminist inquiry, Bridge critiqued a largely white mainstream feminism to bridge into a future feminism—a queer one that would thrive on plurality 1 Although Kimberle Crenshaw would explicitly coin “intersectionality” in her essay “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics” (1989), the rhetorical forces behind the term animated much work that predates Crenshaw’s article, including Bridge and the scholarship of bell hooks.
