This article argues that love and justice are interlocking themes that undergird and motivate the poetry and activism of the Black lesbian feminist Pat Parker. Parker was a prolific working-class poet, a committed Black lesbian feminist, and an international trailblazer whose poems, like her famous "Womanslaughter" discussed in this article, document the many injustices that Black women endured in an anti-Black, rabidly homophobic, and patriarchal U.S. during the last decades of the twentieth century. In a political moment where righteous cries of #BlackLivesMatter are heard across the United States I use this article to remind us all of the historical importance that Black lesbians played and continue to play in the struggles of anti-racist justice in America.
本文认为,爱与正义是相互关联的主题,它们支撑并激发了黑人女同性恋女权主义者帕特·帕克的诗歌创作与社会活动。帕克是一位多产的工人阶级诗人,一位坚定的黑人女同性恋女权主义者,也是一位国际先驱。她的诗歌,比如本文所讨论的著名诗作《女性杀戮》,记录了20世纪最后几十年里,黑人女性在美国这个反黑人、极端恐同且男权至上的国家所遭受的诸多不公。在“黑人的命也是命”的正义呼声在美国各地响起的政治时刻,我借助本文提醒我们所有人,黑人女同性恋者在美国反种族主义正义斗争中所发挥的以及持续发挥的历史重要性。
