Ensemble de textes de la poétesse et militante féministe noire américaine (1934-1992) où elle exprime sa pensée sur les injustices civiles et sociales, les droits civiques, le féminisme, l'identité féminine noire. Un souvenir revient dans les écrits d'Audre Lorde. C'est l'hiver à New York. Audre est dans le métro avec sa mère. Emmitouflée, elle est assise à côté d'une dame en manteau de fourrure. Elle regarde la dame, blanche, qui d'une main rageuse retire le pan de manteau qui effleure l'enfant. Une enfant Noire qui ne comprend pas et cherche désespérément un cafard, une poussière, bref une saleté justifiant ce geste. Quelque chose pour ne pas réaliser que la saleté... c'est elle. Ensuite, le regard rageur de la dame blanche qui tue l'enfant Noire de cinq ans parce qu'elle ne peut pas le nommer : le regard du racisme. Un souvenir vrillé en elle, plus qu'une douleur, une souffrance indélébile qui permet à la poète adulte d'affirmer qu'au fond, en Amérique, on ne veut pas que les Noir-e-s vivent. Audre a vécu, survécu, pour nous dire son « amérique », ses passions, ses colères, dans une série d'écrits lumineux.

Siopis has always engaged in a critical and controversial way with the concepts of ‘race’ and ‘ethnicity’ in South Africa. For politically sensitive artists whose work has involved confronting the injustices of apartheid, the current post-apartheid situation has forced a reassessment of their practice and the terms on which they might engage with the fundamental changes which are now affecting all of South African society. Where mythologies of race and ethnicity have been strategically foregrounded in the art of any engaged artist, to the exclusion of many other concerns, the demise of apartheid offers the possibility of exploring other dimensions of lived experience in South Africa. For feminists, this is potentially a very positive moment when questions of gender – so long subordinated to the structural issue of ‘race’ under apartheid – can now be explored. Penny Siopis’ work has long been concerned with the lived and historical relations between black and white women in South Africa. The discussion focuses on the ambivalent and dependent relationships formed between white middle-class women and black domestic labour during apartheid. Siopis’ work engages with how the appropriation of black women's time, lives, labour and bodies has shaped her ‘own’ history.

Contemporary feminist and antiracist discourses have failed to consider the intersections of racism and patriarchy. To overcome this difficulty, an original approach is suggested here: that of intersectionality. In the first part, the paper discusses structural intersectionality, the ways in which the location of women of color at the intersection of race and gender makes their real experience of domestic violence, rape, and remedial reform qualitatively different from that of white women. The focus is shifted in the second part to political intersectionality, with the analysis of how both feminist and antiracist politics have functioned in tandem to marginalize the issue of violence against women of color. Finally, the implications of the intersectional approach are addressed within the broader scope of contemporary identity politics.

At the dawn of the 20th century, a multi-generational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina – former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors’ Yoruba traditions – struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. The first wide release by a black female filmmaker, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST was met with wild critical acclaim and rapturous audience response when it initially opened in 1991. Casting a long legacy, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST still resonates today, most recently as a major in influence on Beyonce’s video album Lemonade. Winner of the Cinematography Award and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic competition at the Sundance Film Festival. Chosen for preservation by the National Film Preservation Board, USA
