Oppression and Intersectionality

Abstract

This paper analyzes how a person or social group can be oppressed in five different ways: exploitation, marginalization or exclusion, disempowerment or lack of power, cultural imperialism and violence. So various social groups (women, African-American, Latin-American, Jewish, Muslim, gifted, homosexual, old, children, teenager people and so on) who simultaneously feel one kind of oppression or several in intersectional way (i.e., by sex, gender, race, ethnicity, provenance or origin, social class, sexual orientation, age, overcapacity or disability reasons and so on) are showed here.
