This book explores the multiform and shifting location of borders and
boundaries in social life, related to difference and belonging. It
contributes to understanding categories of difference as a building
block for forms of belonging and inequality in the world today and as
underpinning modern capitalist societies and their forms of
governance. Reflecting on the ways in which we might theorise the
connections between different social divisions and identities, a
translocational lens for addressing modalities of power is developed,
stressing relationality, the spatio-temporal and the processual in
social relations. The book is organised around contemporary dilemmas
of difference and inequality, relating to fixities and fluidities in
social life and to current developments in the areas of racialisation,
migration, gender, sexuality and class relations, and in theorising
the articulations of gender, class and ethnic hierarchies. Rejecting
the view that gender, ethnicity, race, class or the more specific
categories of migrants or refugees pertain to social groups with
certain fixed characteristics, they are treated as interconnected and
interdependent places within a landscape of inequality making. This
innovative and groundbreaking book constitutes a significant
contribution to scholarship on intersectionality.
