Additionally, I would like to demonstrate that those texts can be understood as systematical political interventions that look forward the construction of spaces of expression where all the voices of historically relegated subjects can converge. In the context of her prose writing, Lorde addressed and explored diverse concepts such as pride, love, violence, racial fear, sexual oppression, ways of urban living and the different forms of surviving in the big city. Starting with the theoretical base of Black Feminism, I pretend to prove the importance of Lorde’s contribution to the concept of intersectionality as well as the visibilization of multiple situations of violence inside the black community. En este artículo breve me propongo describir y analizar las formas de resistencia al sexismo y la homofobia que postula Audre Lorde en algunos en los ensayos y conferencias reunidos en Sister Outsider (1984). Asimismo, pretendo demostrar que dichos textos pueden entenderse como intervenciones políticas sistemáticas que tienen como objetivo principal construir espacios de expresión donde confluyan las voces de actores sociales históricamente relegados. En el marco de su trabajo en prosa, Lorde abordó y exploró temáticas tales como el orgullo, el amor, la violencia, el temor racial, la opresión sexual, los modos de vida urbanos y las diversas formas de supervivencia en la gran ciudad. Según la base teórica de los estudios de género y con el foco puesto específicamente en las producciones teóricas del feminismo afroestadounidense, pretendo demostrar la importancia del aporte de Lorde a la construcción del concepto de interseccionalidad, así como también a la visibilización de múltiples situaciones de violencia sucedidas al interior de la comunidad negra.
