Season 2 of Bridgerton will famously go down in history as it allowed exposure and opened doors for south Asian women in Hollywood. This will bring upon changes in Bollywood as well (or at least, I’m hoping). This season is truly a masterpiece, tackling a multitude of themes: cultural importance, sisterhood, intimacy, familial expectations as well as bringing into light some south Asian toxicity.
Trigger warning // Rape
Though an enjoyable show which takes you out into a diverse historical world, there are problematic/triggering aspects I wish to express my displeasure about.
Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberle Crenshaw, inspired by Sojourner Truth, which categorizes race, class, gender and sexuality. It serves as a platform for people to define their existence. Although a common and an essential theory, intersectionality in action is an extremely difficult hurdle. Even though Crenshaw relates intersectionality with African American and Black American Culture, I want to take a different perspective, focusing on the identity of women in different cultures and countries focusing on the United States and Saudi Arabia.
