This collection focuses on minority women, employing the perspectives of minority rights and intersectionality to investigate such key concepts as discrimination, inequality, agency, participation, resistance, and solidarity while also analyzing dynamics of power. It presents diverse grounded empirical cases drawing on field research and data collection while offering a global perspective that explores intersectionality and its effect on women designated as minority according to nationality, religion, ethno-culture, gender, migration background, and race in seven countries and in digital and international political spaces. The authors include legal scholars, political scientists, sociologists, and anthropologists who study inequality, minority rights, race and gender issues, and the digital sphere. This interdisciplinarity offers an advantage in the exploration of connections between intersectionality and minority rights. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book will be of interest to researchers, academics and policymakers working in human rights law, minority rights, gender studies, political science, social and cultural anthropology, and sociology.
