The Intersectional Other - Alex Rivera - Bog

In The Intersectional Other, Alex Rivera reimagines the history of power in the United States for queer BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) who have been marginalized and othered. Rivera critiques the white colonialism and heteronormativity that is evident in psychological and medical literature, rejecting the deficiencies that have been projected onto those who are othered. Rivera compels her readers to envision a world in which intersectional others hold power and have the capacity to evoke societal transformations through creativity, self-love, and revolution. Rivera boldly reimagines the margins, creating a radical space for readers to de-vilify otherness and envision a better future for intersectional others.
