Bringing together philosophers and political theorists, the volume takes stock of Collins's enduring theory of intersectionality and her impact on critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter an introduction by coeditors Amy Allen and Eduardo Mendieta situating Collins's work within debates about intersectionality and critical theory, the volume opens with a substantial, previously unpublished essay by Collins. In it, she reflects on her intellectual and political praxis amid contemporary political turbulence, emphasizing the need to guard intersectionality against cooptation and dilution. Subsequent chapters explore how her work reshapes core concepts in critical theory, examining its relationship to the Frankfurt School and Indigenous theory as well as its significance for environmental philosophy and Black politics. The book concludes with a new essay in which Collins responds to her interlocutors and reflects on what it means to practice critical social theory at a moment when critical thought itself is under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable resource for students and scholars of critical theory, feminist philosophy, Black feminism, and intersectionality, this volume serves as a compelling introduction to Collins's thought and its continuing relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to Collins and the editors, the contributors to this volume include Kanisha D.
