摘要
This book has proposed a three-point intersectional lens specific to First Nations women in Australia. While this book recognises that the travelling nature of intersectionality has allowed the framework to move beyond its original conceptions and into disciplines other than law, the potential for a three-point intersectional lens, based on Kimberlé Crenshaw’s original articulation of intersectionality but in the context of decades, if not centuries, of its practice, may serve a unique benefit to incarcerated First Nations women. This chapter provides a summary of the key arguments throughout the book, proposing that by taking Crenshaw’s conception of intersectionality, which centres the intersection of race and sex, and adding a third point of intersection, colonialism, it is possible to assist in obtaining an understanding of the crisis in a way that is different from the dominant understanding and offers new insight into the crisis. This chapter also sets out some brief direction for future research, including the application of the three-point intersectional lens to gendered issues in criminal justice such as the use of risk assessment tools.
