Black Lesbian in White America and Other Writings

About this book

A groundbreaking collection of essays and poetry by a Black lesbian feminist. Anita Cornwell's Black Lesbian in White America and Other Writings fearlessly explores the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality in 20th-century America. This collection exposes the realities of heteropatriarchy, misogyny, racism, and white supremacy through a Black lesbian lens.

This reprint includes Cornwell's classic essays, a revelatory interview with Audre Lorde, and previously unpublished poetry. Scholar Briona Simone Jones provides an insightful introduction. Discover the power of Black lesbian voices as Cornwell chronicles her battles against oppression while attending to themes of love and familial loss.

This collection is for readers interested in Black lesbian studies, feminist theory, LGBTQ+ history, and social justice. Keywords: Black lesbian essays, Anita Cornwell writings, LGBTQ+ history, feminist theory.
