Resume Dans cet article fondateur, K. Crenshaw introduit le concept d'« intersec- tionnalit6 , pour penser le caractere compos6 des effets de subordination lies a des facteurs comme la race, le genre, lage, la sexualite, etc. Elle analyse d'abord trois affaires juridiques qui ont trait6 des questions de discrimination raciale et sexuelle pour montrer les limites des uanalyses a enjeu unique> : DeGraffenreid v. General Motors, Moore v. Hughes Helicopter, Inc. et Payne v. Travenol. Dans aucune de ces affaires, les tribunaux nont permis aux plai- gnantes d'afleguer une discrimination fondee a la fois sur la race et le sexe. K. Crenshaw montre qu'fl faut penser l'intersectionnalite des discriminations pour saisir et corriger la situation particulire des femmes noires. Dans un second temps, elle 6dargit la reflexion vers le cadre sociopolitique et suggere que la condition des femmes noires doit etre mieux prise en compte tant par les mouvements feministes que par les mouvements anti-racistes.

Summary Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics In this seminal work, K. Crenshaw introduces the concept of intersectionality to refer to the compoundness of subordination due to multiple factors such as race, gender, age, sexuality, etc. She first focuses on three legal cases that dealt with the issues of both racial and sex discrimination to show the limits of single issue analyses: DeGraffenreid v. General Motors, Moore v. Hughes Helicopter, Inc., and Payne v. Travenol. In none of these cases, did courts allow Black women plaintiffs to allege discrimination on the basis of both race and gender. Crenshaw shows that it is necessary to conceive the intersectionality of discriminations in order to understand and correct the particular situation of Black women. In a second step, she broadens the reflection to the sociopo- litical framework and suggests that the condition of black women must be better taken into account by both feminist and anti-racist movements.
