Her writings and speeches grappled with an impressive broad list of topics, including sexuality, race, gender, class, disease, the arts, parenting, and resistance, and they have served as a transformative and important foundation for theorists and activists in considering questions of power and social justice. Lorde embraced difference, and at each turn she emphasized the importance of using it to build shared strength among marginalized communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eI Am Your Sister\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of Lorde's non-fiction prose, written between 1976 and 1990, and it introduces new perspectives on the depth and range of Lorde's intellectual interests and her commitments to progressive social change. Presented here, for the first time in print, is a major body of Lorde's speeches and essays, along with the complete text of \u003cem\u003eA Burst of Light\u003c\/em\u003e and Lorde's landmark prose works \u003cem\u003eSister Outsider\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Cancer Journals\u003c\/em\u003e. Together, these writings reveal Lorde's commitment to a radical course of thought and action, situating her works within the women's, gay and lesbian, and African American Civil Rights movements. They also place her within a continuum of black feminists, from Sojourner Truth, to Anna Julia Cooper, Amy Jacques Garvey, Lorraine Hansberry, and Patricia Hill Collins. \u003cem\u003eI Am Your Sister\u003c\/em\u003e concludes with personal reflections from Alice Walker, Gloria Joseph, Johnnetta Betsch Cole, Beverly Guy-Sheftall, and bell hooks on Lorde's political and social\u003cbr\u003ecommitments and the indelibility of her writings for all who are committed to a more equitable society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRudolph P.
