RACE, GENDER, AND POLITICAL REPRESENTATION
TOWARD A MORE INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH
Book Review
Race, Gender, and Political Representation is a powerful piece of scholarship that would be a valuable addition to any course on political representation, gender and politics, race and ethnicity politics, and legislative politics. The book makes a compelling case for why a more intersectional approach to the study of representation is not only a worthwhile pursuit, but an essential one. In many respects, the book is a âcall to actionâ for future scholars to grapple with the political consequences of intersectionality, to consider its implications for their own work, to answer old questions in new ways, and to ask new questions.
