Leading scholar in the field of critical race theory Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term "intersectionality," which she has described as a "lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects." Crenshaw, a professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University and executive director of the African American Policy Forum, has just published a new book, Backtalker: An American Memoir.
"Backtalker is a frame that I use to encourage people to talk back against claims that the world as we have experienced it is the way it can only be, that there is no reason to continue to advocate for change," says Crenshaw. She also discusses the Supreme Court's recent gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the sociopolitical environment that allowed for Clarence Thomas to be appointed to the Supreme Court despite Anita Hill's claims of sexual harassment against him.

We speak with Lebanese-born academic Gilbert Achcar about the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, U.S. foreign policy under President Trump and more. Achcar says Trump's military actions in Venezuela and Iran are not as dramatic a departure from U.S. policy as some commentators have suggested, calling it "an old-new imperial doctrine." While the George W. Bush administration believed in "regime change," says Achcar, Trump is "just going back to 19th-century gunboat diplomacy: You bomb a country until they submit."
Achcar's new book is Gaza Catastrophe: The Genocide in World-Historical Perspective.

The U.S. Supreme Court has effectively gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the last remaining major provision of the landmark 1965 law that was a crowning achievement of the civil rights movement.
In a 6-3 decision along partisan lines, a majority of justices ruled Wednesday that Louisiana must redraw a congressional map that was designed to create a second majority-Black district in the state, where African Americans have long faced racial segregation and barriers to voting. They said the electoral map "relied too heavily on race," an interpretation that is set to usher in another wave of redistricting across the South to help Republicans win more seats in Congress.
"This is central to whether or not we maintain a multiracial democracy in this country," says lawyer and civil rights activist Maya Wiley, head of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. She calls Wednesday's ruling "a free pass to discriminate."

 Evelyn Hockstein /ReutersWASHINGTON CROSSING, Pennsylvania—At a campaign rally in the most important swing state in the country, anti-Trump activist George Conway told the Daily Beast why he thinks Kamala Harris can win over Republicans.
"She's kind of done it already," he said. "Look at all those people who voted for [Nikki] Haley when she was already done. I actually think there's kind of a hidden Harris vote for Republicans who are just exhausted by Donald Trump."
Turnout is another factor that plays to Democrat's advantage, Conway predicted. "I also think that even the people who are still for Trump and won't vote for Harris, I don't think the turnout's going to be great for him."
