Interrogates the forces that determine who truly "belongs" in an inclusive society, and who remains on its margins. How can a society call itself inclusive while systematically excluding those who do not fit the norm? Intersectional Challenges to Cohesion? critically examines how people are marked as "not belonging" based on multiple, intersecting dimensions of identity: race, gender, disability, migration status, and more. By bringing together diverse academic perspectives, this volume brings to light the lived realities of marginalized individuals at personal and social levels, depicting how systemic exclusion persists despite democratic ideals. Through interdisciplinary research and case studies, the contributors analyze the structures that enforce non-normativity and limit participation and ultimately question the very fabric of social cohesion. Through mapping these intersectional challenges, this book provides crucial insights for scholars and policymakers striving for genuine inclusion. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9783593518190

Social cohesion and marginalization in international and interdisciplinary perspective

From different academic perspectives, the volume highlights realities of life and experiences of people in a diverse society on an individual, social, and political level, which are related to their ascribed non-normativity. The book combines different research approaches and results on intersectionality and marginalization discussing their relation to social cohesion. It contributes to a better understanding of how marginalized groups are marked as »not belonging« based on multiple dimensions and are systematically excluded in terms of participation and other democratic principles.
