A queer vision of love and marriage

Over the past twenty years, the concept of "intersectionality" has emerged as an influential approach to understanding the complex facets of discrimination and exclusion in a society whose members — with often complex racial, gender or sexual identities — can experience bias in multiple ways.

In this first-ever collection of Crenshaw's writing, readers will find the key essays and articles that have defined the concept of intersectionality and made Crenshaw a legal superstar. The book, which also includes a sweeping new introduction by the author, reveals the trajectory of the subject as it has evolved over the course of two decades and radically changed the face of social justice activism. For anyone interested in movement politics and advocacy, On Intersectionality is compulsory reading from one of the most brilliant critical race theorists of our time.

Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider celebrates an influential voice in twentieth-century literature. In this charged collection of fifteen essays and speeches, Lorde takes on sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia and class, and she propounds social difference as a vehicle for action and change. Her prose is incisive, unflinching and lyrical, reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope. This commemorative edition includes a new foreword by Lorde scholar and poet Cheryl Clarke, who celebrates the ways in which Lorde's philosophies resonate more than twenty years after they were first published.

A joyful, imagistic discovery of woman as speaker and subject. As a woman, a black and a lesbian, Brand arrives at a rigorous and nakedly ruthless reclamation of the poetic.

Whenever we envision a world without war, prisons or capitalism, we are producing speculative fiction. Organizers and activists envision, and try to create, such worlds all the time. Walidah Imarisha and Adrienne Maree Brown have brought 20 of them together in the first anthology of short stories to explore the connections between radical speculative fiction and movements for social change. These visionary tales span genres — sci-fi, fantasy, horror, magical realism — but all are united by an attempt to inject a healthy dose of imagination and innovation into our political practice, and to try on new ways of understanding ourselves, the world around usmand all the selves and worlds that could be. It also features essays by Tananarive Due and Mumia Abu-Jamal as well as a preface by Sheree Renée Thomas.

Featuring essays by Farzana Doctor (Six Metres of Pavement), Elisha Lim (100 Butches) and George Brown College pro­fes­sors Kathryn Payne and Marilyn McLean.

The Revolution Starts at Home is as urgently needed today as when it was first published. This watershed collection breaks the dangerous silence surrounding the "secret" of intimate violence within social justice circles. Just as important, it provides practical strategies for dealing with abuse and creating safety without relying on the coercive power of the state. It offers life-saving alternatives for survivors while building a movement where no one is left behind.
