Most scholars have situated her work within the context of the women\u2019s, gay and lesbian, and black civil rights movements within the United States. However, Lorde forged coalitions with women in Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa, and twenty years after her passing, these alliances remain largely undocumented and unexplored.<i>Audre Lorde\u2019s Transnational Legacies<\/i> is the first book to systematically document and thoroughly investigate Lorde\u2019s influence beyond the United States. Arranged in three thematically interrelated sections\u2014Archives, Connections, and Work\u2014the volume brings together scholarly essays, interviews, Lorde\u2019s unpublished speech about Europe, and personal reflections and testimonials from key figures throughout the world. Using a range of interdisciplinary approaches, contributors assess the reception, translation, and circulation of Lorde\u2019s writing and activism within different communities, audiences, and circles. They also shed new light on the work Lorde inspired across disciplinary borders.In addition the volume editors, contributors include Sarah Cefai, Cassandra Ellerbe-Dueck, Paul M. Farber, Tiffany N. Florvil, Katharina Gerund, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Gloria Joseph, Jackie Kay, Marion Kraft, Christiana Lambrinidis, Zeedah Meierhofer-Mangeli, Rina Nissim, Chantal Oakes, Lester C.
