Series: Critical Perspectives on the Psychology of Sexuality, Gender, and Queer Studies

In The Intersectional Other, Alex Rivera deconstructs the history of power in the United States, critiquing the white colonialism and heteronormativity evident in psychological and medical literature and rejecting the deficiencies projected onto queer Black, Indigenous, and Other People of Color (BIPOC). Rivera compels her readers to envision a world where Intersectional Others hold not just power, but the capacity to evoke societal transformations through creativity, self-love, and revolution. The Intersectional Other boldly reimagines the margins, creating a radical space for readers to de-vilify Otherness and conjure a better future.

Reviews for The Intersectional Other: Reimagining Power in the Margins

Rivera delivers readers quite a gift, a generous offering, that might, indeed, deliver us. What Rivera inscribes onto the page is bound to make inroads in people's lives and in systems that impact us. And not only this, but there is, too, a profound sense of generative reconfiguration: a reconfiguration of what marginality can do, a reconfiguration in service of claiming and providing power for those who have been disallowed power. In that vein, this book is powerful. -- Marquis Bey, Northwestern University and author of Black Trans Feminism
