The concept of intersectionality refers to the constructionist approach, which considers gender, class and race as categories of social inequality that cannot be added together but that intersect and construct each other. Social categories construct the social identities that affect what motivates people and how they operate. The question is how multiple identities come together in the context of crime? The paper reports the findings of a qualitative study that explored the concept of intersectionality when analysing crime. The study analysed the court files of Antillean women and girls living in the Netherlands and tried to find an explanation for their crime patterns in their struggle with their identity.

The article explores two intertwined ideas: that the United States is a settler colonial nation-state and that settler colonialism has been and continues to be a gendered process. The article engages Native feminist theories to excavate the deep connections between settler colonialism and heteropatriarchy, highlighting five central challenges that Native feminist theories pose to gender and women's studies. From problematizing settler colonialism and its intersections to questioning academic participation in Indigenous dispossession, responding to these challenges requires a significant departure from how gender and women's studies is regularly understood and taught. Too often, the consideration of Indigenous peoples remains rooted in understanding colonialism as an historical point in time away from which our society has progressed. Centering settler colonialism within gender and women's studies instead exposes the still-existing structure of settler colonialism and its powerful effects on Indigenous peoples and settlers. Taking as its audience practitioners of both "whitestream" and other feminisms and writing in conversation with a long history of Native feminist theorizing, the article offers critical suggestions for the meaningful engagement of Native feminisms. Overall, it aims to persuade readers that attending to the links between heteropatriarchy and settler colonialism is intellectually and politically imperative for all peoples living within settler colonial contexts.

Des corps féminins en rangées, qui se meuvent en synchronie. Ils ne se distinguent que par le détail d’un vêtement, d’une courbe, d’une teinte de cheveux. Les filles en série créent l’illusion de la perfection. Ce sont des filles-machines, filles-marchandises, filles-ornements. Toutes reproduites mécaniquement par l’usine ordinaire de la misogynie. Les filles sont des filles parce qu’elles sont en série. Mais la figure des filles en série est double: à la fois serial girls et serial killers de l’identité qu’on cherche à leur imposer. Entre aliénation et contestation, les filles en série résistent à leur chosification, cassent le party, libèrent la poupée et se mettent à courir. Cet essai percutant, paru pour la première fois en 2013, se déploie comme une chaîne qui se fait et se défait, depuis les Cariatides jusqu’aux Pussy Riot. Dans cette édition revue et augmentée, Martine Delvaux s’attaque à la blancheur des filles en série et analyse de nouvelles formes de résistance investies par les ballerines, les survivantes d’agressions et Beyoncé.
