Building a Theory, Measuring a Concept: Exploring Intersectionality and Latina Activism at the Individual Level

Untangling the complexities of intersecting identities at the micro-level is important to our studies of political participation. In the following article I propose a typology whereby the intersectionality of gender and ethnic identity may be disaggregated along individualistic and collectivistic dimensions. Using group interviews, I find that collectivistic orientations of intersecting gender and ethnic identity mobilize Latinas into political activism. However, an individualistic orientation of gender or ethnic identity demobilizes Latinas or redirects their activism. These findings indicate that future measures of gender and ethnic intersectionality at the micro-level should include both individualistic and collectivistic dimensions.
