Cheryl Clarke's ongoing gumption continues to ask us how loudly and proudly will we do what we do. --Alexis Pauline Gumbs These times need urgently Cheryl Clarke and her brilliant mind and words. Clarke's sharp, clear-eyed, forceful, and poetic essays offer readers both balm and provocation to action--and they continue to resonate in current political landscape. Clarke is a towering figure in the worlds of poetry, feminist and queer theory, and lesbian, feminist, and queer communities. She has been writing and thinking with and in her communities for over fifty years. Her work is prescient, classic, and timeless. Acts of Resistance gathers Clarke's most beloved essays alongside archival finds and recent poems. Many of Clarke's most influential essays, including Lesbianism: an Act of Resistance and The Failure to Transform: Homophobia in the Black Community, first appeared in landmark publications such as This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color (1981) and Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology (1983). These essays and others defined generations of lesbian, feminist, and queer thinkers, writers and activists. Discover--or revisit--the inimitable Cheryl Clarke through Acts of Resistance.
