Lorde, Audre,

Your silence will not protect you / Audre Lorde ; with a preface by Reni Eddo-Lodge ; and an introduction by Sara Ahmed. - [London] : Silver Press, 2017. - xii, 227 pages ; 20 cm

This is a collection of the essential essays and poems of Audre Lorde, 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.
