It emphasises the limitations of additive or mutually constitutive models of social divisions and thus privileges an intersectional approach that renders the complicated experience of black women within multiple categorizations of oppression understandable. By grounding intersectionality in a set of interlocking systems of social, cultural and political violence, this research explores black women’s politics of resistance to “epistemic violence” and institutionalized racism and sexism in Toni Morison‟s Beloved- an important work that captures one of the most significant junctures in African-American history, slavery and the Reconstruction era. This work offers an opportunity for understanding how intersectionality deepens notions of gender, race, and class and how they collaborate together in marginalizing the influence of black women on the social, cultural, and intellectual arenas. Revisiting the condition of black women through the lens of intersectionality suggests a desire to reconceptualize identity formation as inseparable from the external effects that determine black women’s realities.
