Abstract
This chapter explores the concepts of black race and identity in Britain through discourses between a mother and her daughters as they embark on a journey of enlightenment and togetherness while navigating everyday incidents of racism and sexism. The term ‘intersectionality’ is mostly identified with Critical Race Theory (CRT) scholar Kimberle Crenshaw who, along with others, contributed to and advocated thinking critically about the multidimensional aspect of women's oppression along race, class and gender lines. The chapter draws on a conceptual framework that relates to the works of authors who write in the field of CRT along with Whiteness Studies. It provides a glimpse from a range of dialogues between a mother and her daughters. The chapter aims to understand the extent to which CRT, Whiteness Studies and intersectionality are useful theoretical/conceptual tools in conceptualising the experiences of a family grappling with ‘every-day racism’.
