What is Sister outsider: Essays and speeches (The Crossing Press feminist series) about?

A collection of fifteen essays written between 1976 and 1984 gives clear voice to Audre Lorde's literary and philosophical personae. These essays explore and illuminate the roots of Lorde's intellectual development and her deep-seated and longstanding concerns about ways of increasing empowerment among minority women writers and the absolute necessity to explicate the concept of differencedifference according to sex, race, and economic status. The title Sister Outsider finds its source in her poetry collection The Black Unicorn (1978). These poems and the essays in Sister Outsider stress Lorde's oft-stated theme of continuity, particularly of the geographical and intellectual link between Dahomey, Africa, and her emerging self. Notes from a trip to Russia Poetry is not a luxury The transformation of silence into language and action Scratching the surface : some notes on barriers to women and loving Uses of the erotic : the erotic as power Sexism : an American disease in blackface An open letter to Mary Daly Man child : a black lesbian feminist's response An interview : Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich The Master's tools will never dismantle the Master's house Age, race, class, and sex
