This essay argues that Audre Lorde's 1981 keynote speech, ''The Uses of Anger: Women
Responding to Racism,'' has much to contribute to communication scholars' understanding
of human biases and rhetorical artistry. The significance of Lorde's subject is
one reason for devoting critical attention to her speech, because, in contemporary public
life in the United States, anger has abiding relevance in an extraordinary range of
rhetoric and public address. Another reason for contemplating Lorde's speech is the fact
that anger was a major theme throughout the internationally acclaimed poet-activist's
advocacy. The essay suggests that Lorde's speech illustrates a communication technique,
shifting subjectivities, which recurs in her rhetorical artistry.
