Your Silence Will Not Protect You - Audre Lorde (Silver Press) rosemary mayer The very existence of thisWith a preface by Reni Eddo Lodge and an introduction by Sara Ahmed Audre Lorde (1934 92) 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.
