My first Lorde, and oh my Lord! What an introduction.
Absolutely mind-blowing essays that discuss racist behaviors within feminist movements, systems of oppression, poetry as a tool of defiance, emotional intelligence or what she refers to as “erotic”, the patriarchal structures and their relationship with feminist movements and ideas, and the lessons to be learned from the 1960s civil rights movements in America (mostly in relation to Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr).
In other words, a must read!
