Are there contradictions in fighting homophobia while encouraging Islamophobia? Is it possible to do anti-racism activism that suppresses the voices of black and brown undocumented migrants? Can feminism claim to advocate for the rights of all women if it excludes women of lower classes or non-white ethnicities? If our activist efforts seem to erase and hurt those that are most marginalized and oppressed in society, what is it that we are really trying to achieve? Is it a utopian dream to represent many critical political agendas at once? Cath, Ferrari and Vucovic sought to interrogate some of these questions through examining the state of intersectional activism in the Netherlands. To do so, they interviewed many activists who were already familiar with the term intersectionality and were involved in activist work that incorporated this framework.
