      abstract = {In 1989, Kimberl Crenshaw coined the term  intersectionality to describe the interdependent and  overlapping systems of discrimination and disadvantage that  result from the interconnected nature of social  categorizations. These categories include, but are not  limited to, disability, gender identity, nationality, race,  and socioeconomic class. In recent years, we have witnessed  increased societal interest in the notion of equal  economic, political, and social rights. This has commonly  manifested in a desire for equality of opportunity (i.e.,  social justice). This book applies an intersectional  approach to examine a specific facet of inequality namely,  the presence and magnitude of wage discrimination in the  U.S. labor market. This book accomplishes several  objectives. It introduces intersectional analysis for  readers who are unfamiliar with the topic. The book  identifies intersectional wage discrimination for a large  number of worker groups that are defined by multiple  intersecting identities (i.e., the personal characteristics  of Hispanic ethnicity, nativity, race, and sex). It also  documents variation in wage differentials both between  worker groups (i.e., contemporaneously) and within groups  (i.e., intertemporally). Finally, given the policy  relevance of our topic, it is fitting that the final  chapter is devoted to corresponding conclusions.
