In this talk I will reflect on the two-way journey that intersectionality
has followed as a theoretical\, methodological\, and political perspective
from the moment the term was coined in 1991 by Kimberlé Crenshaw\, through
the academic popularization of the term – acquired after the World Conferen
ce against Racism\, Racial Discrimination\, Xenophobia\, and Related Intole
rance\, held in South Africa in 2001\, to what has happened and intensified
in the last decade in which feminism as a political movement has massified
and at the same time have redefined the concept of the margin. In this new
conjuncture Latin American feminist ideas have been more clearly articulat
ed to the critique of racism\, among other reasons because of the rapid cir
culation and growing acceptance of the intersectional perspective.
