This chapter discusses the implications of the research findings on Black disabled women’s employment experiences. Using a feminist disability studies lens to understand intersectionality in lived-experiences, allows the identification of intersectional discriminations and how and why they are kept invisible. The 25 women who participated in this study had all experienced discriminations in employment (historically and in the present) but the ways in which they understood inequality and discriminations, and if and how they made them visible in the workplace differed. The chapter discusses why quietism is a form of discrimination that occurs and is directed towards ensuring the inability of the voicing of complaints. Quietism is built on silencing but it is discriminatory in that it uses gendered norms and values, for instance, against women, to ensure moral disregard.

摘要

This chapter discusses the implications of the research findings on Black disabled women’s employment experiences. Using a feminist disability studies lens to understand intersectionality in lived-experiences, allows the identification of intersectional discriminations and how and why they are kept invisible. The 25 women who participated in this study had all experienced discriminations in employment (historically and in the present) but the ways in which they understood inequality and discriminations, and if and how they made them visible in the workplace differed. The chapter discusses why quietism is a form of discrimination that occurs and is directed towards ensuring the inability of the voicing of complaints. Quietism is built on silencing but it is discriminatory in that it uses gendered norms and values, for instance, against women, to ensure moral disregard.
