About this book

Lorde invents a new genre to tell her story of coming into her identities as a Black lesbian feminist in mid-20th century America. Moving from Harlem to Mexico to 1950s lesbian bars, 'Zami' documents both personal transformation and collective struggle. This edition includes previously unpublished archival materials. ## Related reading If this resonates, you might also reach for [Giovanni's Room](/products/giovannis-room/) or [Orlando](/products/orlando/).
