"Intersectionality in a Transnational World," Bandana Purkayastha
Purkayastha reexamines the nature of intersectionality in an ever-growing world, one connected by the availability of mass transit, as well as the technological connections of the Internet. These developments are painted in both a positive and negative light. For the positives it allows for people leaving their homelands to still retain the support of family and religious affiliations via information that can be found online and advanced forms of communication such as video conferencing. This can help to reduce the negative influences of intersectionality, racism, and prejudice in their local community. The negative side of this, however, has become the blurring of lines between foreign and national surveillance, which puts people regardless of location under the eye of the government and other agencies, increasing fears of persecution.
Which of the following is a way transnational spaces can help reduce the effects of discrimination and intersectionality?
a. maintaining familial contact and using that support to minimize the effect of racism
b. attending religious services via the Internet when a local community is not available
c. retaining an identity by maintaining a social role in their home country while living in another
d. all of these choices are correct

"Globalization and Its (Mal)econtents: The Gendered Moral and Political Economy of Terrorism," Michael S. Kimmel
This article by Michael S. Kimmel examines the heavily gendered nature of terrorist groups of varying locations and ideologies. The role of globalization and its associated egalitarianism is cited as a major motivator for American right wing extremist groups such as White Aryan Resistance. Leaders create and spread propaganda to target disenfranchised young males who feel their opportunities have been restricted by the growth of immigration and women entering the workforce. According to them, this is perpetrated both by the feminist emasculation of men, and the control of the Jews. This emphasis on anti-Semitism and masculinity is seen in Scandinavian extremist groups as well, with the addition of a fear of homosexuality growing to undermine masculinity. The attention shifts to Al Qaida and the Taliban, Islamic extremists who recruit significantly amongst young men who have dwindling career opportunities. The rigid gender politics of the Taliban are theorized to be the result of women entering the workforce and to counteract they use a literal interpretation of the Quran to remasculinize men (hence the mandatory growth of beards), and the refeminization of women (removing them from the public sphere). The so-called "mastermind" of the 9/11 hijackings, Mohammad Atta, is presented as a man who failed at attaining employment, which was more disturbing to him next to his sisters, one of whom is a professor and the other a doctor, and thus attracted to this fundamentalism as a way to counteract his shortcomings.
What is, according to Kimmel, a symbol of masculinity that is heavily utilized by the Taliban?
a. formal dress
b. beards
c. attending religious ceremonies
d. display of firearms

Q:
"Movement Intersectionality: The Case of Race, Gender, Disability, and Genetic Technologies," Dorothy Roberts and Sujatha Jesudason
Roberts and Jesudason shift the issue of intersectionality to examine issues of genetics and reproductive technologies. They do this by examining the work of Generations Ahead, a social justice organization that protects human rights as related to reproductive justice. Their perspective is that differences between people should be acknowledged and respected, not to separate but to recognize the heterogeneity that exists in society amongst marginalized groups. The concern that reproductive technologies, as well as genetic screenings, may be implemented in ways that punish some groups more than others, such as the perception of Black and Latina women as being hypersexual and hyperfertile. They conclude that reproductive autonomy should apply to anyone looking to have children, including children who may have disabilities. Policy advocacy should also be focused upon providing support to all women, families, and communities, and not argue about when life begins or who can become a parent.
What new addition does Roberts and Jesudason make to the categories of intersectionality that are discussed?
a. race
b. disability
c. gender
d. reproductive justice

"The Intersectional Paradigm and Alternative Visions to Stopping Domestic Violence: What Poor women, Women of Color, and Immigrant Women Are Teaching Us About Violence in the Family," Natalie J. Sokoloff
Sokoloff's work studies the problem of domestic violence from an intersectional perspective. By doing this, she challenges the notion that gender inequality is the only primary force driving the problem. The approach has two distinct objectives: giving voices to battered women, as well as addressing socially structured inequalities that feed into the problem. One of her major critiques is that the often-supported "colorblind" approach to domestic violence (specifically in that it cuts through all races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses), it prevents larger social structural problems that feed into the problem from being recognized and addressed. As an example of this, research shows that controlling for economics, African American women are less likely to experience domestic violence, and that neighborhood factors (less collective efficacy) is a more significant determining factor than race is. The tendency to approach cases of domestic violence as part of a different cultural perspective (such as honor killings), also minimizes the perceptions of domestic violence with persons of color. Finally, community based programs are outlined that seek to prevent these issues through structural change are examined.
For family violence to be fully understood in marginalized groups, it must be
a. contextualized
b. examined
c. synthesized
d. dismissed

"The Intersectional Paradigm and Alternative Visions to Stopping Domestic Violence: What Poor women, Women of Color, and Immigrant Women Are Teaching Us About Violence in the Family," Natalie J. Sokoloff
Sokoloff's work studies the problem of domestic violence from an intersectional perspective. By doing this, she challenges the notion that gender inequality is the only primary force driving the problem. The approach has two distinct objectives: giving voices to battered women, as well as addressing socially structured inequalities that feed into the problem. One of her major critiques is that the often-supported "colorblind" approach to domestic violence (specifically in that it cuts through all races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses), it prevents larger social structural problems that feed into the problem from being recognized and addressed. As an example of this, research shows that controlling for economics, African American women are less likely to experience domestic violence, and that neighborhood factors (less collective efficacy) is a more significant determining factor than race is. The tendency to approach cases of domestic violence as part of a different cultural perspective (such as honor killings), also minimizes the perceptions of domestic violence with persons of color. Finally, community based programs are outlined that seek to prevent these issues through structural change are examined.
Research shows that Black women are _________ than White women to be battered when controlling for income and marital status.
a. less
b. more
c. significantly more
d. about the same

"Growing Food and Justice: Dismantling Racism through Systainable Food Systems," Alfonso Morales
Morales' piece centers on a specific program: the Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative (GFJI), but as a whole addresses the issues of racism and classism as it relates to food. He traces the pattern that, over the past 50 years, supermarkets have consolidated from smaller neighborhood markets into larger, massive spaces that tend to be centered mostly in higher profit, higher socioeconomic status areas. One of these consequences is that the smaller neighborhood markets that are left in lower income areas have a more limited supply of healthier, fresh food items, and that they are priced higher than their suburban counterparts. GFJI is an organization that promotes sustainable agricultural and community food security organizations to help urban neighborhoods become more self-sufficient and able to access healthier foods than what is provided at other supermarkets.
The Growing Food and Injustice for All initiative, discussed by Alfonso Morales, is headquartered in
a. Los Angeles

"Multicultural Training Intervention to Address American Indian Stereotypes," Jesse A. Steinfeldt and Matthew Clint Steinfeldt
This article approaches the topic of American Indian stereotypes, specifically in the realm of sports, from a counseling and training perspective. Beginning with an illustration of the topic: applying stereotypes of other races, religions, and ethnicities into a sports context, the authors present their program for increasing sensitivity and awareness to this growing issue. The process begins with multicultural awareness into multicultural knowledge, in which the reasons why American Indian imagery is problematic compared to others. Using the Minnesota Vikings as a point of comparison, the difference is shown to be that the Vikings do not represent a currently existing group (unlike American Indian tribes), and that other stereotypes do not fully represent an ethnicity, unlike the broad application of American Indian stereotypes. Finally, ways to develop skills in social justice and understanding these situations in other contexts are provided.

"Gender Matters. So Do Race And Class: Experiences of Gendered Racism on the Wal-Mart Shop Floor," Sandra E. Weissinger
Sandra Weissinger examined complaints made in the Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. class action lawsuit to understand the specific ways that individuals who are targeted for mistreatment experience mistreatment in raced, classed and gendered ways. She documents the unequal treatment that women receive in comparison to men, but shows that some women hold contradictory positions. A given woman who is targeted for her gender may be given some privilege linked to her race, thus yielding different outcomes for different women. She argues that discrimination based on sex alone does not explain the variation in women's experiences.
She concludes that discriminatory work atmospheres are maintained in multiple and complex ways, contributing to the persistence of "a web of intersecting and relational inequalities."

"Inequality and the Growth of Bad Jobs", Matt Vidal
Vidal takes a more nuanced look at the shifting inequality in America, specifically how the job market perpetuates it. He points out that more than a quarter of employed Americans work in a low-wage job, and that this segment of the jobs market has increased faster in recent years when compared to other, higher paying ones. Comparatively, low-skill jobs have decreased, meaning that more skilled jobs are paying less money. Due to the fact that large corporate entities have focused on outsourcing as a way to cut costs, the job market for low skilled employees is not expanding, with increasing poverty due to a lack of a living wage.
The declining wage share in American economics is closely correlated to
a. increase in education
b. deunionization
c. further industrialization
