The Matrix Reader: Examining the Dynamics of Oppression and Privilege promotes a commitment to an interdisciplinary approach to teaching race, class, gender, and sexuality. This approach introduces readers to core social identities and demonstrates how
those identities are intersecting, multidimensional, and complex. Unlike most books of its kind, The Matrix Reader highlights the duality of privilege and oppression and the effects that race, class, gender, and sexuality have on our lives. This reader includes poems, reflective literary prose, overviews of key historical themes, discussion of particular historical events and documents, images drawn from the media, contemporary statistics of inequalities, visual images, and tools that empower readers to become agents for social change.
