Audre Lorde is basically everything I'm not, yet there are few writers whose nonfiction I can relate to like hers. I love what she has to say about why it's important to use your voice, stand up for yourself, and her concepts of creativity - and what it can do - are fascinating. Unfortunately, the poems included at the end of this collection didn't really do it for me, hence the four star rating. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This book collects the essential essays and poems of Audre Lorde for the first time, including the classic 'The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House'. A trailblazer in intersectional feminism, Lorde's luminous writings have inspired a new generation of thinkers and writers charged by the Black Lives Matter movement. Her lyrical and incisive prose takes on sexism, racism, homophobia, and class; reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope that remain ever-more trenchant today. Also a celebrated poet, Lorde was New York State Poet Laureate until her death; her poetry and prose together produced an aphoristic and incomparably quotable style, as evidenced by the constant presence on many Women's Marches against Trump across the world. This beautiful edition honours the ways in which Lorde's work resonates more than ever thirty years after they were first published. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

As a young and idealistic woman, I ran into radical feminism and did not find it to my liking. The thought of disavowing half of the world, (men), because they were inherently unable to understand a peaceful approach to life seemed unfair.
However, in my zeal to embrace my sisters, and to recover my self-respect and dignity after being abused at the hands of the Patriarchy, I tried to walk the walk for awhile.
Audre Lord spelled something clearly out: that as long as either sex viewed the other sex as an opponent, no peace was to be had. And the same for skin color, age, ability, etc.
I have never forgotten the power her words carried to my young heart and hope that the succession of idealistic young people will be able to read her with fresh eyes and ears. ( )
