Margaret Kimberley · Audre Lorde’s Revolutionary Contribution to Black Political Thought

Black poet and feminist Audre Lorde showed her socialist and revolutionary colors in the wake of the US invasion of Grenada, her parent’s birthplace, in 1983, said Jack Turner, professor of political science at the University of Washington and co-editor of “African American Political Thought: A Collected History.” Lorde “really started to see how the Grenada revolution could inspire a more transnational Black revolutionary presence within the western hemisphere, and as a result became a deep threat to the US State,” said Turner.
