  I haven't read all of those but its just what I saw from a short search.
  

Here's a slightly different article on gender, too.

>do you have any book recommendations

To be honest, I'm not much of a book person. I have far more online resources than print ones, though I'm still pretty bad at remembering to bookmark things after I read them.

Tim Wise generally does a good job describing racial privilege, and he's got a couple speeches available on youtube (for example) and a book out (which I admittedly haven't read, but I'd expect it to be fairly okay based on his speeches that I've seen), but he doesn't specifically tackle intersectionality as far as I know.

This question would probably make a very good selfpost, since it's unlikely that many people will follow this conversation the whole way, and other subscribers will likely have better book lists handy.

ETA: I imagine you couldn't go wrong with something like this, too.

Enlightening read! Thanks. FYI this author has a good book if y'all are interested. Moral Combat: Black Atheists, Gender Politics, and the Values Wars. :D
