À propos de cet audio

Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider celebrates an influential voice in 20th-century literature. In this charged collection of 15 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 20 years after they were first published.

difficult to follow narrator

At first, the narrator is almost impossible to follow--the cadence is particularly difficult for my brain to process. Doesn't follow typical language patterns at times: pauses btwn...every three words... sounds... staccato :) Makes it tough to know when a sentence ends, BUT it gets better (or maybe I just got used to the narrator as time went on---either way). Lourde is, as always, perfection though. Forever grateful.

Embracing discomfort and learning to listen

This book provoked a strong sense in me to say, “not me,” when listening to certain stories and truths about the lives of black women’s experiences at the hands of and in relation to black men. But to stave off that impulse is to listen and then ask how am I complicit and how can I work to change that?

Not For Me

So much to say about these essays. Some of it good and some of it negative, all of which cannot be talked about easily during these times we are living in. So I will just say that I had trouble connecting to most of these essays. At first I wondered if it was because they are dated, but I have read Steinem and Davis and didn't have the same issues. I went into this collection looking for insight but she has such a force field of anger around her that I couldn't get near her. Finally near the end, there was one essay where she talks about some of her experiences as a little girl. I was quite affected by that because it was the first time I was able to see and feel her as human, particularly as a vulnerable child. She is clearly a woman to be admired. She was strong, smart, articulate and fierce. However, as a source of education and inspiration, she doesn't seem to be the right fit for me
