Editing Triple oppression (section)

=== Black women and Intersectionality ===
Black women experience triple oppression on a wide scale level, multiple scholars argue. Scholar Rajendra Chapagain in work titled " African American women, racism and triple oppression' discusses this, stating "to be Black and female is to suffer from triple oppression".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Chapagain |first=Rajendra |date=2020 |title=African American Women, Racism and Triple Oppression |url=https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/ijmss/article/download/34615/27171 |journal=Interdisciplinary Journal of Management and Social Sciences. |pages=112–114}}</ref> Chapagain refers to sexism racism and classism.

The theory of [[intersectionality]] suggests that different aspects of a person's network and society puts them at either an advantage or disadvantage. It is able to explain many of the implications of various forms of oppression - including colonialism and slavery - on Black women in different facets of life. They experience oppression that are able to intersect, amplifying their impact. Coined by [[Kimberlé Crenshaw]] in 1989, its systematic nature is what many argue is the cause of such widespread misrepresentation. Her work on [[Intersectionality]] and [[Intersectional feminism]] discusses these overlapping systems. Research by Ntombenhle Torkington entitled 'Black migrant women and health'<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Torkington |first=Ntombenhle |date=1995 |title=Black Migrant Women and Health |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/027753959580051P |journal=Women's Studies International Forum |volume=18 |issue=2 |pages=153–158|doi=10.1016/0277-5395(95)80051-P |url-access=subscription }}</ref> discusses how these forms have been able to infiltrate into the sector of health for Black women, noting how the correlation between oppression and treatment does exists. It also shows how because of it, they are at a clear disadvantage health wise.

This is able to be reflected in other areas of life, one of which being the class system and the exploitation of Black women in industries ranging vastly. This causes further repercussions including areas like income, access to communal resources and other societal privileges, as the theory reflects. Scholar Recep, in a reading of feminist literature through triple a oppression lens, describes this as the result of the "pursuit for power".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Recep |first=Mehmet |date=2021 |title=Reading Bell Hooks's "Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism" through the lens of Triple Oppression Theory |url=https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/86828601/1780184-with-cover-page-v2.pdf?Expires=1667608116&Signature=bAYs9WCDxog5HcDkbLQTV6xdpCHTg-xhYL2hAJoqPU-9LNP1H4LRv0UKjUZPugdatyR7Kv6qe1wz2ht-nFCqB0bCL2PFNxM-P9l2rV7JNOSV95YbLudR-tpcGg0euzt4xCgEWXJUs-IZ7xDKlDdJHAcVhygZTF2bW7OevFgJX6idECMEmrGwQF4H9NuIvyboCSDqmwpOu~q4MYiKocDw2FK-vVuQOuZ9ALWSEXflzl0Apa5frZ66~JrLb6WYMAX2WnCirqDYc~SDuyARYsD6Hmp52Hdka3N~a4hAoaE1p~vUpuaq21Ew74XTOOLBlWlVwDMi3HQFNBGzdKCLdrSZpg__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA |journal=BSEU Journal of Social Sciences}}</ref>

Feminist and African-American scholar [[Moya Bailey]] argues the systematic "hatred" of Black women is based on "simultaneous and interlocking oppression" in her book, 'What is [[Misogynoir]]?" Though mainly looking at the link between race and gender, the aspect of class is something that is able to become noteworthy due to its extended consequences. She discusses how the constant devaluing and commodification of Black women and their bodies is something that has long had an effect on the community.
