## About
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 This edition includes previously unpublished archival materials.
