Abstract

This compact monograph by Gabriele Winker and Nina Degele, intended for a German-speaking readership, provides a theoretically, methodologically, and empirically stringent as well as independent critique of intersectional analysis of social inequalities. The book, which is in every sense clearly organized, is striking because of its well-founded argumentation (especially in terms of the authors’ theoretical decisions), its clear structure, and most notably its step-by-step and comprehensible application of the suggested theoretical and methodological framework for empirical social research. The book is thus recommended without reserve, also for use in higher education, and it has the potential to inspire further scientific development of intersectional analysis of social inequities.
