Sister Outsider
Audre Lorde was a writer, feminist and civil rights activist - or, as she famously put it, 'Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet'. Born in New York in 1934, she had her first poem published while she was still in high school. After stints as a factory worker, ghost writer, social worker, X-ray technician, medical clerk, and arts and crafts supervisor, she became a librarian in Manhattan and gradually rose to prominence as a poet, essayist and speaker, anthologised by Langston Hughes, lauded by Adrienne Rich, and befriended by James Baldwin. She was made Poet Laureate of New York State in 1991, when she was awarded the Walt Whitman prize; she was also awarded honorary doctorates from Hunter, Oberlin and Haverford colleges. She died of cancer in 1992, aged 58.

Your Silence Will Not Protect You
Your Silence Will Not Protect You 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 her 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.

I diari del cancro. Un confronto politico
Pubblicato originariamente nel 1980, I diari del cancro è molto più di un'opera sulla malattia: è un manifesto politico su corpo, visibilità e resistenza, firmato da Audre Lorde, una delle voci più significative del femminismo Nero, insieme a bell hooks e Gloria Anzaldúa. Mescolando la forma del diario con quella saggistica, l'autrice racconta la propria esperienza con il cancro al seno - dalla biopsia alla mastectomia - per trasformarla in un atto di rivendicazione collettiva. Il suo rifiuto delle protesi scardina ogni norma di conformità dell'immagine femminile: Lorde rivendica in questo libro il diritto di vivere la perdita fisica apertamente, senza nasconderla, opponendosi al silenzio che circonda i corpi delle donne e all'obbligo sociale di "apparire integre". Come donna Nera, lesbica, madre, guerriera e poeta, Lorde reinventa sé stessa secondo i propri termini e offre la propria voce e il proprio coraggio a chi si trova ad affrontare un percorso difficile come il suo, perché parlare di cancro significa anche parlare di sopravvivenza, sessualità, cura di sé e autodeterminazione. Poetico, intimo e radicale, I diari del cancro trasforma il personale in politico, dando forza alle donne per definire sé stesse e trasformare il silenzio in linguaggio e la paura in azione.

Lessons from Audre Lorde's The Uses of Anger
Audre Lorde's now classic, "The Uses of Anger," was first delivered at UCONN, Storrs in 1981. One of two keynote lectures, it offered Lorde's address of the National Women's Studies Association conference topic of "women responding to racism." In their introduction, Gordon, Orozco Mendoza, and Zane reflect on the inheritance, lessons, and responsibilities that UCONN Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies must grapple with if it is to deepen and fulfill its radical mission. Guided by the imperative to look backward to understand the present and forge a future, the book closes with a sankofic interview with M. Jaqui Alexander and Beverly Guy-Sheftall, conducted by Briona Simone Jones.

Zami
»Ein Memoir von großer großer literarischer Kraft.« New York Times - Von einer Wegbereiterin des Empowerment von Frauen of Colour. Als Tochter karibischer Einwanderer wächst Audre Lorde im Harlem der 1940er-Jahre heran. Eine Zeit, die sie eindrucksvoll und zutiefst poetisch heraufbeschwört. Ihre Erinnerungen sind geprägt von bedeutsamen Beziehungen zu Frauen - ihrer Mutter, Freundinnen, Geliebten -, von ihren Erfahrungen in der queeren New Yorker Subkultur aber auch von schmerzhaften Momenten der Ausgrenzung. Wie in einem Bildungsroman entwirft Lorde in ihrem literarischen Hauptwerk ein Porträt der Künstlerin als junge Frau, erzählt die Geschichte einer Selbstfindung: vom hochbegabten Mädchen zur brillanten Schriftstellerin und zur »Schwarzen, Lesbe, Feministin, Mutter, Dichterin, Kriegerin«. »Zami« ist das Porträt einer jungen Frau, die den Mut und die Kraft fand, sich Platz in einer Welt zu erkämpfen, die für sie keinen vorgesehen hatte.

A Burst of Light
"Lorde's words - on race, cancer, intersectionality, parenthood, injustice - burn with relevance 25 years after her death." - O, The Oprah MagazineWinner of the 1988 Before Columbus Foundation National Book Award, this path-breaking collection of essays is a clarion call to build communities that nurture our spirit. Lorde announces the need for a radical politics of intersectionality while struggling to maintain her own faith as she wages a battle against liver cancer. From reflections on her struggle with the disease to thoughts on lesbian sexuality and African-American identity in a straight white man's world, Lorde's voice remains enduringly relevant in today's political landscape. Those who practice and encourage social justice activism frequently quote her exhortation, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." In addition to the journal entries of "A Burst of Light: Living with Cancer," this edition includes an interview, "Sadomasochism: Not About Condemnation," and three essays, "I Am Your Sister: Black Women Organizing Across Sexualities," "Apartheid U.S.A.," and "Turning the Beat Around: Lesbian Parenting 1986," as well as a new Foreword by Sonia Sanchez. "You don't read Audre Lorde, you feel her." - Essence"Lorde's timeless prose in this collection provides contemporary social justice warriors the language, strategies, and lessons around resistance, through the power of intersectionality, a Pan-African vision, and - ultimately - through the power of love and radical self-care." - NBC News"When I don't know what to do, I turn to the Lorde." - Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Bitch Media"Whenever my mind is heavy with questions and my heart thirsts for nourishment, I turn to the writing of Audre Lorde. Every time I revisit the words of Audre Lorde, I marvel over how relevant they continue to be." - AfterEllen.com"The self-described black feminist lesbian mother poet used a mixture of prose, theory, poetry, and experience to interrogate oppressions and uplift marginalized communities. She was one of the first black feminists to target heteronormativity, and to encourage black feminists to expand their understanding of erotic pleasure. She amplified anti-oppression, even as breast cancer ravaged her ailing body." - Evette Dionne, Bustle Magazine "This was my first time reading Audre Lorde (finally!) and now I can't wait to devour everything she ever wrote. This was the kind of book that you end up highlighting so many great quotes, words you want to memorize, apply, breathe. Empowering read.

Sister Outsider
Audre Lorde: revolutionäre Denkerin, wortgewaltige Aktivistin und Ikone des Schwarzen Feminismus. Audre Lorde wusste, was es heißt, als Bedrohung zu gelten: als feministische Dichterin, als Schwarze Frau in einer weißen akademischen Welt, als lesbische Mutter eines Sohnes. Viele »Formen menschlicher Verblendung haben ein und dieselbe Wurzel: die Unfähigkeit, Unterschiedlichkeit als eine dynamische Kraft zu begreifen, die bereichernd ist, nicht bedrohlich«. Lorde widmete ihr Schaffen dem Kampf gegen Unterdrückung. Verschiedenheit und Schwesternschaft, Zorn, Erotik und Sprache wurden zu kraftvollen Waffen. In ihren Texten über Rassismus, Patriarchat und Klasse finden wir Antworten auf die brennenden Fragen der Gegenwart - ein halbes Jahrhundert nach seinem ersten Erscheinen beweist der Band auch heute seine erschreckende Aktualität. Manche Menschen sind unvergesslich und ihre Worte unendlich inspirierend; Audre Lorde und Sister Outsider zählen zweifelsohne dazu. Wie Lorde es selbst so treffend formulierte: »Ich werde nie weg sein. Ich bin eine Narbe, ein Frontbericht, ein Talisman, eine Auferweckung. Der raue Fleck am Kinn der Selbstzufriedenheit.«
