My discussion considers Lorde's theorizing of difference and power, as well as her poetic work, as prophetic interventions within the context of the 1960s to the early 1990s. I argue that Lorde's intellectual and literary work is the result of a black woman's embodied experiences within the intersections of many struggles--notably, the ones against racism, sexism, and homophobia. This strategic positionality becomes, as I discuss, the centrality of Lorde's prophetic vision of collective and inclusive liberation: one that permeates past and current movements for freedom across the Americas, influencing contemporary practices of international solidarity and the formation of black feminist thought. Finally, as a framework, this essay shows that Lorde's prophetic vision--one that is born within a larger context of black diasporic feminist imaginary--teaches us crucial lessons on the decolonial practices and methods embedded in black women's intellectual and artistic work. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
