Your Silence Will Not Protect You is a 2017 posthumous collection of essays, speeches, and poems by African Amaerican author and poet Audre Lorde. It is the first time a British publisher collected Lorde's work into one volume. The collection focuses on key themes such as: shifting language into action, silence as a form of violence, and the importance of history. Lorde describes herself as a "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet", and addresses the difficulties in communication between Black and white women.
The collection is made up of five sections. A preface by Reni Eddo-Lodge, an introduction by Sara Ahmed13 essays, and 17 poems, and a Note on the Text. As the Note on the
Text states, many of the essays in the collection were given as papers
at conferences across the U.S. Further, Lorde often revised early poems
and re-published them, so many of the poems in this collection are the
latest versions of Lorde's work
