Jasbir Puar

Puar’s reading, i must say was by far the most difficult this semester. Because of her writing style, i wasn’t able to properly grasp, (if at all) what she was talking about. The only thing that i believe i understand was the topic of intersectionality. Now being that a number of other feminist have written about the theory, i understand that it’s in a sense taking notice to the different traits, characteristics, or qualities that one person may have. These characteristics maybe race, religion, socioeconomic status, gender, etc, and it’s the claiming of all those things that help create a person. Now what I don’t understand fully is if Puar is against it or not. It seems as if she maybe against it because she questions whether or not if the concept favors white women, but i maybe wrong. So confused with this one…
