Ukuhlangana

Ini Is Ukuhlangana kwemigwaqo?

Iliphi igama elilodwa ongalisebenzisa ukuzichaza kusukela manje kuzo zonke izimo? Sonke sinobunikazi obungaphezu kokukodwa futhi akunakwenzeka ukuba ube bunye ngesikhathi. I-Intersectionality iyalibona leli qiniso. Ngibheka impambana-mgwaqo njenge-accounting egcwele yokuphila komuntu ngamunye. Kuyafana nendlela esicabanga ngayo inkathi yobuhlanga ebucayi ukubalwa kwezimali okugcwele komlando. Okuhle, ukuhlangana kwemigwaqo kungasiza ukuchaza ukuthi ngamunye wethu uyinkimbinkimbi futhi uyathakasela kangakanani (okuningi kulokho okungezansi). Kukhona nemithelela engemihle nokho, okufanele siyifake phakathi nomsebenzi wethu wokwehlukahlukana, ukulingana, ukufakwa, nokuba ngabathile.

UKimberlé Crenshaw waqamba 'i-intersectionality' emuva ngo-1980 ekuvezeni ukuthi abantu besifazane abamnyama babhekana nokucwaswa okudlula ukuvele kuhlanganiswe ukucwasa abantu besilisa abaMnyama ababhekana nakho kanye nalabo bonke abantu besifazane kanye nabantu abangabokubili. Ngamanye amazwi, akukhona nje ukuthi A+B=C, kodwa kunalokho A+B=D (ngivumela u-'D' umele 'amanani asabekayo okucwasa' kulesi simo). Ngaphandle kwabanye ongqondongqondo besayensi engikanye nabo, sibona lolu hlobo lwento efanayo kubhayoloji nekhemistri, lapho izinhlanganisela ezimbili noma ama-enzyme ehlangene anomphumela omkhulu kakhulu (futhi ngezinye izikhathi ohluke ngokuphelele) kunemiphumela ehlukene 'yezingxenye ezimbili'. '

#IshoIgamaLakhe kube yimpendulo kwenye yezinkinga ezibhekana nabesifazane abamnyama. Ngokujwayelekile, uma bebuzwa ngabantu abaMnyama ababulawe ngamaphoyisa, abantu bavame ukukhumbula amagama abafana nabesilisa abaMnyama kunalawo amantombazane aMnyama, abesifazane, nabangewona kanambambili. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi kulesi sibonelo, kukhona ubunikazi obengeziwe obuphambanayo futhi obuhilelekile. Ebuka amaqembu abantu ukubhekana kakhulu nesihluku samaphoyisa, nalabo amagama abo athola ukunakwa kakhulu futhi abonakale kwabezindaba, kunezinye izinhlelo ezisebenzayo ezihlanganisa i-classism kanye nekhono.

Ukuzindla kanye Nokuqonda Okungcono

Ukuzama ukulandisa ngabo bonke ubuwena umuntu angaba nabo, ukuthi obunye ubuwena bungashintsha kanjani ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, nokuthi ubunikazi abaningi buhlangana kanjani ukwenza isethi ehlukile yokuhlangenwe nakho, izinzuzo, kanye nokubi kuyinselele. Nansi imisebenzi emibili yokuzihlola ibe usizo kimi. Ngimema wonke umuntu ukuthi azame lokhu:

1. Lokhu kwethulwe kimi okokuqala ngu-Ijeoma Oluo emsebenzini wakhe obalulekile, Ngakho Ufuna Ukukhuluma Ngohlanga (Angikwazi ukuncoma le ncwadi ngokwanele). Qala ukubhala zonke izindlela onelungelo ngazo. Ngithanda ukukhomba indlela ka-Oluo yokuchaza 'ilungelo' kumongo wobulungisa bomphakathi: kuyinzuzo noma iqoqo lezinzuzo onazo futhi abanye abangenazo. Ilungelo liphinde lidinge ukuthi nawe awuzange ulithole ngo-100% futhi abanye babhekane nokungwadla ngokungabi nalo. Bheka isahluko sesine saleyo ncwadi uma ufuna ukucaciselwa okwengeziwe. Ngiyawuthokozela lo msebenzi ngenxa yezizathu eziningi. Kungisize ukuba ngicabange ngenani elikhulu lobunikazi enginabo ngokujwayelekile, okungenzeka angikaze ngicabange ngaphambili. Isikhathi ngasinye lapho ngenza uhlu lwami, ngiye ngathola ezintsha! Kulelo qophelo, u-Oluo (nami) utusa ukwenza lokhu kuzindla kancane kancane njengomuntu ofuna ukuhlanganyela naye.
2. Kuthuthukiswe ngu-Heather Kennedy kanye noDaniel Martinez be-Colorado School of Public Health, lokhu kuthatha umsebenzi ongenhla futhi kuphenye ukulandisa. Kuyindlela yokuhlola ingcebo yethu yamasiko. Lapha uzodlula ishidi lokusebenza futhi uhlole ukuthi yini esebenza kuwe. Lo msebenzi ubungaza amandla nezinsiza ezitholwe amaqembu ahlala ebandlululwa ezweni lethu, okuhlanganisa i-BIPOC, abokufika, intsha, abakhubazekile, i-LGBTQ+, kanye nemiphakathi eyengeziwe. Ngifake ukuphrintwa kabusha kwalolu hlu lokuhlola ngemvume yabo futhi ungahamba lapha ukuyibuyekeza.

Umcabango Wokugcina: Ububele, hhayi Ukuqonda

Ingcaphuno yabiwe nami muva nje ku Indoda Yanele podcast lokho kwahlala kimi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Engxoxweni nesivakashi sabo, kuphawuliwe umculi ongeyena kanambambili, umbhali, kanye nesishoshovu U-Alok Vaid-Menon uthe: “Bekugxilwe ekuqondeni, hhayi uzwelo. Ngakho-ke, abantu bazothi 'Angiqondi-' Kungani kufanele ungiqonde ukuze uthi akufanele ngibe nodlame?” UJustin Baldoni, ongumdidiyeli we-podcast, uqhubeke wathi “sicabanga ukuthi kufanele sikuqonde okuthile ukuze siyamukele, noma sikuthande, futhi akulona iqiniso lelo.”

Ukuqeqeshwa kwami ​​kwezempilo yomphakathi kuye kwangifundisa ukuthi isici esikhulu salokho okungashintsha izenzo zomuntu ukwakha ukuqonda okungcono. Uma siqonda ukuthi kungani ukwenza isenzo kuzosisiza noma kanjani, maningi amathuba okuthi sikwenze. Kodwa lesi simo somuntu siza nenani lapho sigcizelela ukuthi sazi konke kuqala ngaphambi kokuba senze. Kunezinto eziningi emhlabeni wethu okunzima ukuziqonda, ezinye azikwazi phakade. Singakwazi futhi kufanele siqhubeke nokufunda mayelana nokugubha ubuthina bethu abaningi, imibono, nezindlela zokuba kulo mhlaba. Ukufunda okuqhubekayo kuwumthwalo esingawuthatha njengengxenye yezenzo zethu zokulwela, ukumela, kanye nokubambisana. Ukuqonda ngokugcwele okuhlangenwe nakho, nokho, akufanele kube imfuneko yokubonisa uzwela nokufuna ubulungisa nokulingana.
