Intersectionality emerged in the border space between social movements and academic politics as a means of better understanding and confronting interlocking systems of oppression. For scholars studying social movements, it offers a framework for better understanding the power dynamics of movements (the inclusions and exclusions). It is also something to be studied. Women of color, and other groups at the intersection of multiple marginalities conceptualized intersectionality as not only a type of integrated analysis or heuristic, but as an active political orientation to be put into practice. In this essay, I review and discuss the benefits and challenges of studying social movements intersectionally (an analysis that might be applied to the study of any movements), as well as the growing literature focused on social movement intersectionality, that looks for and at intersectionally oriented movements and the praxis of intersectionality within movements. This developing area of study provides new ways of understanding and troubling social movement solidarity.

交叉性和社会运动：社会运动研究中的交叉挑战和必要性

交叉性出现在社会运动和学术政治之间的边界空间中，作为更好地理解和对抗相互关联的压迫系统的一种手段。对于研究社会运动的学者来说，它提供了一个框架，可以更好地理解运动的权力动态（包含和排除）。这也是值得研究的。有色人种和处于多重边缘交叉点的其他群体将交叉性概念化为不仅是一种综合分析或启发式方法，而且是一种要付诸实践的积极政治取向。在这篇文章中，我回顾并讨论了交叉研究社会运动的好处和挑战（一种可能适用于任何运动研究的分析），以及越来越多的关注社会运动交叉性的文献，寻找和寻找交叉导向的运动以及运动中交叉性的实践。这一发展中的研究领域提供了理解和困扰社会运动团结的新方法。
