FORCE MULTIPLIER: AN INTERSECTIONAL EXAMINATION OF ONE IMMIGRANT WOMAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH MULTIPLE SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION |
38 Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law & Justice 1 (2023) |
The immigrants' rights movement can assume an intersectional and cooperative approach to dismantling co-constitutive systems of oppression that conspire to punish, exclude, and exploit disfavored groups.
