Abstract

This article is an essay-performance, a piece of writing resulting from a dialog about the presence/absence of black women in social theory. We start from a diagnosis of some key positions on how social theory has dealt with identity demands and propose a discussion centered on the idea of intersectionality as a basis for thinking about the issue. To this end, we point out the importance of recovering the critical sense of the idea of intersectionality as an intellectual expression of the experience of black women, who have enunciated this idea even without naming the term. Finally, we shift the idea of intersectionality to the idea of crossroads and offer some contributions on the meaning and possibility of the presence of black women in social theory.
