Özet
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper
“I believe that the creative spirit is nothing less than love made manifest.” —June Jordan
Love is dangerous. That is why the work of the most stringently censored Black feminist poet and essayist of the twentieth century is suffused with it. Drawn from the full span of June Jordan’s career, this volume is an ideal introduction to the most widely published African American writer of her time, a visionary and a courageous agitator for change who fought on the front lines of American literature and transnational injustice, modeling with ferocity her vision of a lover who is a fighter and a fighter who is always motivated by love.
Nothing Less Than Love encompasses Jordan’s exploration of Black English, her critiques of Western education, greed, and individualism, her condemnations of racism, misogyny, homophobia, and genocide, and her essays on sexual liberation, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the September 11 attacks, unjust wars, her solidarity with Palestine, and her own battle with breast cancer. It includes such never-before-published essays as a moving tribute to Audre Lorde and a rousing letter to the editors of The New York Times, as well as cherished works as “Where Is the Love?” and “Notes of a Barnard Dropout.” Here is nothing less than a masterclass in how to find the love within our rage to feed, clothe, and change our communities, with June Jordan as our passionate teacher.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“Jordan’s essays are not products to consume, they are invitations to build worlds with our own intentional words. . . . We live in a world transformed by June Jordan’s words. . . . [Her] very words are a place to live. . . . Her prose offers a welcome table, wide windows, walls thick enough you can daydream inside them, floors so clean you can see your own face. A method for making our way home.” —Alexis Pauline Gumbs, from the Introduction
“In political journalism that cuts like razors, in essays that blast the darkness of confusion with relentless light, in poetry that looks as closely into lilac buds as into death’s mouth . . . she has comforted, explained, described, wrestled with, taught, and made us laugh out loud before we wept. . . . I am talking about a span of forty years of tireless activism coupled with and fueled by flawless art.” —Toni Morrison
“She wanted her readers, listeners, students, to feel their own latent power—of the word, the deed, of their own beauty and intrinsic value.” —Adrienne Rich
“Her lifelong devotion to justice, equality, and radical democracy seemed to revolve around the pleasure she felt in hurling beautiful words at a world full of racism, poverty, homophobia, and inane politicians determined to present this awful state of affairs. There was always joy in her rage.” —Angela Davis
