Third-Wave Feminism digs its roots in intersectionality and coalition, which were not fully realised in Second-Wave Feminism. However, the movement is usually under attack for lacking a clear agenda. Recent scholarship strongly suggests that third wavers get back to third-world writers, like Audre Lorde, to realise an antiracist and inclusive feminism. Lorde occupies a distinctive position in feminist literature; a poet who resides in too many margins being black, female and lesbian. This chapter draws an analogy between third wave intersectionality and postcolonial hybridity, and argues that Lordeâs use of hybridity is a âthird spaceâ that she opens up in her poetry to disrupt spheres of supremacy through its interdependence and reciprocal construction that defy dualisms, hence realising coalition. The analysis is anchored by Homi Bhabhaâs definition of hybridity in colonial discourse.
