Sister Outsider
Kniha Sister Outsider představuje zásadní dílo Audre Lorde, jedné z nejvlivnějších feministických autorek a myslitelek 20. století, která samu sebe označovala za černošskou lesbičku, matku, bojovnici a básnířku. V této nabité sbírce patnácti esejů a projevů se Lorde zabývá různými typy vzájemně se prolínajících útlaků na základě pohlaví, rasy, věku, sexuality či třídy a prosazuje sociální odlišnost jako prostředek k akci a změně. Její pronikavá, neúprosná a lyrická próza rezonuje i po více než třiceti letech po jejím prvním vydání. Odráží boj, ale nakonec nabízí poselství naděje. Tyto přelomové texty jsou podle vlastních slov Lorde výzvou, abychom nikdy nezavírali oči před hrůzou, před chaosem, který je černošský, který je tvůrčí, který je ženský, který je temný, který je odmítán, který je chaotický, který je.

Sister Outsider
Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider celebrates an influential voice in twentieth-century literature.
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...”
