"This book is an excellent exploration of what it means on the individual level to deal with breast cancer, a disease and process particularly affecting women. Lorde also, with wonderful clarity, focuses on herself as Black, Lesbian, and Feminist as a way to analyze disease, pain, and social positionality in reference to this particular cancer, the particular outcomes of this cancer, and how disease and pain are not separable from who we are in the world." - Amazon Customer reviews

  • Mô tả

'A brave, beautiful book that could double as a handbook to accompany anyone on their journey through cancer' Jackie Kay, New Statesman

The Cancer Journals is an intimate, poetic and invigorating account of the experience of breast cancer, from biopsy to mastectomy, told by the great feminist and activist Audre Lorde.

Moving between journal entry, memoir, and essay, Lorde fuses the personal and political to reflect on the many questions breast cancer raises: questions of survival, sexuality, prosthesis and self-care. It is a journey of survival, friendship, and self-acceptance.

'Grief, terror, courage, the passion for survival and for more than survival, are here in the searchings of a great poet' Adrienne Rich

'This book teaches me that with one breast or none, I am still me' Alice Walker
