“…Three of them are considered as a source of interrelated oppression (intersectionality) experienced by black women. Thus, black women must experience triple oppressions: racism, sexism, and classism (Lynn, 2014). P-ISSN 2580-3808, E-ISSN 2580 Discrimination based on race, gender and class will not end if there is no strong ideology for existence of black women.…”

Hidden Figures is a film based on the true story of three African American women who help NASA in the space race. The three African American women are Katherine G. Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan. With the setting of the 1960s era, these three women are fighting against a climate of segregation (separation based on race or skin color) in their work environment (NASA). This study aims to explore Patricia Hill Collins’ theory of black feminism and to integrate it with Stella Ting-Toomey’s theory of face-negotiation. This research is based on a critical paradigm and uses a qualitative approach. Using Sara Mills’s critical discourse analysis as a data analysis technique, this study found a representation of black feminism in the film Hidden Figures. The discrimination experienced by the characters is in the form of racism, sexism, and classism. However, the resistance carried out by the characters is through self definition, not in safe spaces as mentioned by Collins. The characters also do not avoid conflict, but use a negotiation approach with a compromising style to achieve a win-win solution.Keywords: Black feminism, face-negotiation, racism, sexism, classism ABSTRAKHidden Figures adalah film yang diangkat berdasarkan kisah nyata tiga perempuan Afro-Amerika yang membantu NASA dalam space race. Ketiga perempuan Afro-Amerika itu adalah Katherine G. Johnson, Mary Jackson, dan Dorothy Vaughan. Dengan setting waktu era 1960-an, ketiga perempuan ini berjuang melawan iklim segregasi (pemisahan berdasarkan pada ras atau warna kulit) di lingkungan kerja mereka (NASA). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendalami teori black feminism Patricia Hill Collins dan hendak mengintegrasikannya dengan teori face-negotiation Stella Ting-Toomey. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada paradigma kritis dan menggunakan penekatan kualitatif. Menggunakan analisis wacana kritis Sara Mills sebagai teknik analisis data, penelitian ini menemukan representasi black feminism di dalam film Hidden Figures. Diskriminasi yang dialami para tokoh adalah berupa racism, sexism, dan classism. Akan tetapi, perlawanan yang dilakukan para tokoh adalah melalui self definition, tidak dilakukan dalam safe spaces sebagaimana disinggung oleh Collins. Para tokoh juga tidak menghindari konflik, namun menggunakan pendekatan negosiasi dengan gaya compromising style dalam mencapai win-win solution.Kata Kunci: Black feminism, face-negotiation, racism, sexism, classism

“…In the context of intersectionality, British feminists have talked about the concept of 'triple oppression' in which they claimed that black women often suffer a combination of three different levels of oppression or discrimination. They suffer oppression because of their colour, gender and as a member of the working class (Lynn, 2014). However, this concept has also been critiqued by Yuval- Davis (2006) who maintains that, 'any attempt to essentialise 'Blackness' or 'womanhood' or 'working classness' as specific forms of concrete oppression in additive ways inevitably conflates narratives of identity politics with descriptions of positionality as well as constructing identities within the terms of specific political projects' (Yuval- Davis 2006: 195).…”

This paper deals with the concept of intersectionality with particular reference to the interconnectedness of gender, class and caste discrimination in India. Even though much of the work on intersectionality was done by scholars from the United States with specific emphasis on gender and race, this framework can be applied universally to understand the multiple axes of power within a society that results in further marginalisation of certain groups of women. The December 16 th 2012 Nirbhaya rape case forms the centre of this chapter since it resulted in one of the biggest gender movements in India. Methodology/approach In order to develop a critical analysis a case study approach was adopted and data was collected by analysing news reports published online, videos, articles on blogs and posts on social media sources such as Facebook and Twitter. Findings The findings of the research showed interesting intersections of gender and class with relation to this case which has not been deeply analysed in order to understand the reasons behind the public uprising resulting in the government action. Social implications/ value of paper It is important to look at gender violence in India through the lens of intersectionality since often it is a result of multiple levels of discrimination on the basis of class, caste, religion and geography. This is important to recognise in order to ensure that the activism, education and change of policy helps to resolve problems related to extreme oppression and violence against women across the country.
