Caribbean Graduate Reading Group February 2025
When and Where
Description
Please join the Caribbean Graduate Reading Group on February 7 (2-4pm) in the second floor lounge of the Anthropology departmentment.
We’ll be discussing: Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde. In this charged collection of fifteen essays and speeches, Lorde takes on sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class, and 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. These landmark writings are, in Lorde's own words, a call to “never close our eyes to the terror, to the chaos which is Black which is creative which is female which is dark which is rejected which is messy which is. . . .”
Copies of the text can be accessed via the UofT Library here.
