Among the most influential and insightful thinkers of her
generation, Audre Lorde (1934--1992) inspired readers and activists
through her poetry, autobiography, essays, and her political
action. Most scholars have situated her work within the context of
the women's, gay and lesbian, and black civil rights movements
within the United States. However, Lorde forged coalitions with
women in Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and
Africa, and twenty years after her passing, these alliances remain
largely undocumented and unexplored. Audre Lorde's Transnational
Legacies is the first book to systematically document and
thoroughly investigate Lorde's influence beyond the United States.
Arranged in three thematically interrelated sections -- Archives,
Connections, and Work -- the volume brings together scholarly
essays, interviews, Lorde's unpublished speech about Europe, and
personal reflections and testimonials from key figures throughout
the world. Using a range of interdisciplinary approaches,
contributors assess the reception, translation, and circulation of
Lorde's writing and activism within different communities,
audiences, and circles. They also shed new light on the work Lorde
inspired across disciplinary borders. In addition the volume
editors, contributors include Sarah Cefai, Cassandra Ellerbe-Dueck,
Paul M. Farber, Tiffany N. Florvil, Katharina Gerund, Alexis
Pauline Gumbs, Gloria Joseph, Jackie Kay, Marion Kraft, Christiana
Lambrinidis, Zeedah Meierhofer-Mangeli, Rina Nissim, Chantal Oakes,
Lester C. Olson, Pratibha Parmar, Peggy Piesche, Dagmar Schultz,
Tamara Lea Spira, and Gloria Wekker.
