  The concept of intersectionality has become a central topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another?  
   
   
    
  In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. Analyzing the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept of intersectionality, the authors also consider its global reach through an array of new topics such as the rise of far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding complex architecture of social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change. 
   
   
    
  Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates, and new directions in this field.

  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
  		 
  For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
  		 
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
  		 
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

  A national Bestseller 
  In 1988, South Africa teeters on the brink of chaos. Seventeen-year-old Bradley Steyn crosses Pretoria’s Strijdom Square and walks into a nightmare: Barend Strydom, the white supremacist ‘Wit Wolf,’ massacres black bystanders during their lunch break. Bradley cradles a dying man, confronting the insanity of a nation unraveling. Haunted by PTSD, consumed by rage, he spirals—until his parents send him to the SA Navy. There, the apartheid regime’s Security Branch recruits him as a classified enforcer to ‘fight Communism.’ But the underground ANC’s Department of Intelligence and Security (DIS) has other plans, pulling him into their fold. 
  As FW de Klerk rises, the ANC is unbanned, and Nelson Mandela walks free, a sinister Third Force—neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the deep state—schemes to ignite a race war. With South Africa’s future at stake, Bradley goes undercover for the DIS to thwart a plot to assassinate Mandela at his inauguration. Racing against time, can he unravel the extremists’ plan before they discover he’s one of Mandela’s spies? This gripping true-life thriller unveils secrets of a dirty war and holds up a historical mirror, revealing how to resist an authoritarian, weaponised political regime today.
