"Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of the manhater in the popular imagination as well as a polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her antipornography stance in the 1970s and 1980s. Now, more than a decade after her death, this timely collection of her writing showcases the prescience of her analyses: of the genocidal character of sexual violence; of the devastating nihilism of white male supremacy, and of the toll it takes--especially on those who resist. This rediscovery of Dworkin's work will serve as a flashpoint for crucial feminist conversations today. Why is the cost of speaking out against abuse and inequality still so high? Why is the problematic work of brilliant women forced into oblivion, when that of flawed great men is embraced? What can we learn from the bitter divisions and discarded ideas of previous generations?"--Page 4 of cover.

Une extraordinaire écrivaine féministe. Des textes poignants, la colère face aux meurtres, aux viols, à la pornographie, à l’anéantissement des femmes dans la sexualité masculine. La première partie est composée de deux textes à orientation biographique. Dans la seconde, l’auteure aborde, entre autres, le travail de l’écriture, New York, le féminisme radical, Kate Millett, la pornographie, la misogynie, la critique du déterminisme biologique, le judaïsme, le pouvoir des hommes, le viol, la fétichisation des corps, les actes et la violence sexuelle, la colère de la survivante… La troisième partie de l’ouvrage est consacrée à la « fierté lesbienne », à la nuit et aux dangers, aux actions « Reprendre la nuit », au racisme et au masculinisme, aux assassinats de femmes comme politique sexuelle, à la résistance face à la terreur et la torture, à la prostitution…Les livres d’Andrea Dworkin, dont ce recueil offre une palette, restent d’actualité en ces temps de remise en cause des droits des femmes au nom de « traditions » ou du fantasme de l’égalité-déjà-là : « Souvenez-vous-en, mes sœurs, durant les temps obscurs qui s’annoncent. »Son style, très novateur, mêle la radicalité des analyses féministes et la beauté de la langue : « J’ai utilisé l’écriture pour emmener le langage là où était la souffrance des femmes – et leur peur – et j’ai continué mes fouilles à la recherche de mots capables de porter le fardeau de dire l’indicible. »L’intransigeance face aux violences contre les femmes et l’onde puissante des mots. Il ne s’agit donc ici ni d’analyses universitaires ni d’indignations désincarnées, mais bien d’une voix littéraire, nouvelle et forte, qui bouleverse notre compréhension de la domination masculine.

"A landmark collection spanning three centuries and four waves of feminist activism and writing, Burn It Down! is a testament to what is possible when women are driven to the edge. The manifesto--raging, demanding, quarreling and provocative--has always been central to feminism, and it's the angry, brash feminism we need now. Collecting over seventy-five manifestos from around the world, Burn It Down! is a rallying cry and a call to action. Among this confrontational sisterhood, you'll find the Dyke Manifesto by the Lesbian Avengers, The Ax Tampax Poem Feministo by the Bloodsisters Project, the Manifesto of Apocalyptic Witchcraft by Peter Grey, Simone de Beauvoir's pro-abortion Manifesto of the 343, Double Jeopardy: To Be Black and Female by Frances M. Beal, The Futurist Manifesto of Lust by Valentine de Saint-Point, the Riot Grrrl Manifesto by Bikini Kill, and many more. Feminist academic and writer Breanne Fahs argues that we need manifestos in all their urgent rawness--their insistence that we have to act now, that we must face this, and that the bleeding edge of rage and defiance is where new ideas are born"--
