Summary:
"A groundbreaking collection tracing the history of intellectual thought by
Black
Lesbian writers, in the tradition of The New Press’s perennial seller Words of Fire African American lesbian writers and theorists have made extraordinary contributions to feminist theory, activism, and writing. Mouths of Rain, the companion anthology to Beverly Guy-Sheftall’s classic Words of Fire, traces the long history of intellectual thought produced by
Black
Lesbian writers, spanning the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century. Using “Black Lesbian” as a capacious signifier, Mouths of Rain includes writing by
Black
women who have shared intimate and loving relationships with other women, as well as
Black
women who see bonding as mutual,
Black
women who have self-identified as lesbian,
Black
women who have written about
Black
Lesbians
, and
Black
women who theorize about and see the word lesbian as a political descriptor that disrupts and critiques capitalism, heterosexism, and heteropatriarchy. Taking its title from a poem by Audre Lorde, Mouths of Rain addresses pervasive issues such as misogynoir and anti-blackness while also attending to love, romance, “coming out,” and the erotic."--Publisher.
