“[Lorde's] works will be important to those truly interested in growing up sensitive, intelligent, and aware.”—The New York Times
In this charged collection of fifteen essays and speeches, Lorde takes on sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class, and propounds social difference as a vehicle for action and change. Her prose is incisive, unflinching, and lyrical, reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope. This commemorative edition includes a new foreword by Lorde-scholar and poet Cheryl Clarke, who celebrates the ways in which Lorde's philosophies resonate more than twenty years after they were first published.
These landmark writings are, in Lorde's own words, a call to “never close our eyes to the terror, to the chaos which is Black which is creative which is female which is dark which is rejected which is messy which is . . . ”

Wichtige Texte aus intersektional feministischer Perspektive! „Eine profitorientierte Wirtschaft benötigt an den Rand gedrängte Menschen als Arbeitskraftreserve und kommt deswegen nicht ohne die institutionalisierte Abwertung von Verschiedenheit aus.“ (S.131)
„[Malcolm] sprach auch offen über die Narben der Unterdrückung, die uns dazu bringen, uns selbst und einander zu bekriegen statt unsere Feinde. […] Denn wir müssen nicht nur gegen die Entmenschlichung von außen angehen, sondern auch gegen die verinnerlichten Werte der Unterdrückung, die uns eingetrichtert wurden.“ (S.147)
