Audre Lorde (1934-1992) described herself as ‘Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet’. Her extraordinary belief in the power of language – of speaking – to articulate selfhood, confront injustice and bring about change in the world remains as transformative today as it was then, and no less urgent.

Your Silence Will Not Protect You brings Lorde's poetry and prose together for the first time. With a Preface by Reni Eddo-Lodge and an Introduction by Sara Ahmed
