Kimberle Crenshaw is one of the most prominent contemporary Black feminist theorists and her work on intersectionality and Critical Race Theory are foundational to political discourse in academia and movement spaces. She is a prominent speaker and gives lectures and seminars all over the world and her input is sought in many projects, including being part of drafting the equality clause for the South African Constitution. This book, based on the successful podcast, Under the Blacklight, is an intersectional approach to the pandemic that curates the most insightful conversations from these conversations and makes them accessible in book form.
