‘Race’, Gender and the Concept of ‘Difference’ in Feminist Thought

Abstract

Abstract This chapter is concerned with theorizing the interrelationships between ‘race’ and gender oppression and the extent to which this is furthered by using the concept of ‘difference’. [⃛ ] Although the concept has no one connotation, as will be discussed, its implications of plurality and multiplicity have been regarded by many as providing the necessary antidote to the former unquestioning use of the unified terms ‘woman’ or ‘women’. It is now commonplace to read books and articles, often written by white feminists, exhorting us to remember that there are differences between women and that these need to be taken account of in our work.
