Redefining the Political
Claims of belonging
The Palgrave Handbook of Intersectionality in Public Policy
Shadow Bodies
What does it mean for Black women to organize in a political context that has generally ignored them or been unresponsive although Black women have shown themselves an important voting bloc? How for example, does #sayhername translate into a political agenda that manifests itself in specific policies? Shadow Bodies focuses on the positionality of the Black woman’s body, which serves as a springboard for helping us think through political and cult…
Reflection on “the difference that difference makes”
Does difference make a difference? Does identity influence political behaviors? The simple answer is yes to both questions. Tripp’s comparative analysis confirms that differences often do result in different approaches to raced-gendered responses to inequality and the quest for justice. This essay is intriguing for a number of reasons. However, I was left wondering if Tripp had flattened out differences in her attempt to make her larger point. As…

Responses to affirmative action
This paper analyzes the affect of question order on support for affirmative action. While the literature is replete with studies detailing the racial differences for support for affirmative action, there is a dearth of studies that analyze how probing, using open-ended questions, can influence individuals’ responses. Given this, we seek to analyze and explain how open-ended questions, related to affirmative action, might affect responses to close…
Blogging at the Intersections
In my recent explorations of black women as subjects in research-length articles that employ intersectionality, I discovered that black women are rarely, if at all, the sole subjects of such research projects (Jordan-Zachery 2011). This analysis focused on articles published, between 1996 and 2010, in two political science journals that are often ranked at the top—American Political Science Review and Journal of Politics (see Garand and Giles, 20…
Making Fathers
A Declaration of War
This article explores the various and complex processes through which black women have been constructed as expendable. Drawing insights from Ralph Elison's (1952 Ellison, Ralph. [1952] 1995. Invisible Man, New York: Vintage International. Reprint [Google Scholar]) Invisible Man, I explore the means by which black women are rendered invisible within the contemporary American polity and within the black community, suggesting that the discursive pro…
Policy Interaction
In an attempt to counter changes in family structures, a number of nation states are designing policies to make men fit into families. In the case of the USA, decision makers view fatherhood and marriage as the cure for poverty among African Americans. To assert that training these men to be better fathers and husbands will help them improve other dimensions of their lives (particularly poverty) is a good idea, but it is also simplistic. Decision…
Am I a Black Woman or a Woman Who Is Black? A Few Thoughts on the Meaning of Intersectionality
On a hot 90-degree day during the summer of 2006, my six-year-old daughter looked at me and asked, "Why can boys run around without a shirt and I can't?" After I explained, or at least attempted to, society's rules and regulations, she quietly looked at me and said, "Oh! It's because I have a vagina. Well, that's not fair." About a year earlier, as she was watching a popular children's show she asked me, "Why are there no little girls that look l…

Reflections on Mentoring
Mentoring is generally defined as a relationship involving guiding, nurturing, and teaching (both formally and informally) between individuals with differing degrees of experience (Adams 1998; Colwell 1998; Rowley 1999). The mentoring process, in and outside the walls of academia, is often cited as a key ingredient in the development of a successful career. However, for many Black women in academia their ability to benefit from mentoring relation…
