Book Description: A Framework of Intersectional Risk Theory in the Age of Ambivalence: Critical Studies in Risk and Uncertainty Author: [Authors' Names] January 2, 2020 Summary: In this groundbreaking book, the authors present a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex and multifaceted nature of risk in contemporary society, drawing on feminist theories and concepts to carve out a new approach to intersectional risk theory. They argue that risk is no longer a peripheral concern but has become a hegemonic governing principle in the Global North, shaping the lives of individuals and communities in profound ways. To truly grasp the dynamics of risk, sociological risk theories must evolve beyond power and social inequalities to incorporate an intersectional perspective that considers gender, race, and other critical perspectives. The proposed framework provides a nuanced analysis of how risk is situated in different configurations of power, revealing cracks and openings in the fabric of power that can be leveraged for positive change.
