by Audre Lorde
First published 2018
Trailblazing feminist Audre Lorde demands that the oppressed reject the tools of their oppressors. Drawing from her lived experience as a Black, lesbian activist, Lorde's impassioned essay illuminates the nuanced, intersectional nature of systemic injustice. Lyrical and uncompromising, this clarion call challenges marginalized communities to forge their own paths to liberation, rather than co-opting the frameworks of the dominant culture.
