Finding the Lorde in Me: Using Lordean Counterstory to Thwart Bureaucratic Violence in Community-Based Literacy Projects
Teigha VanHester
Community Literacy Journal, v18 n1 Article 5 p42-56 2023
This autoethnography chronicles an Afro-Polynesian femme scholar's struggle to secure funding for research due to bureaucratic violence and the strategic potential of Lordean counterstorying to write a way free for Black and Brown scholar-activists and community-based projects. Extending the work of previous scholars who discuss counterstory and institutional violence, this work uses re-imagination and creativity to mobilize radical research agendas geared towards empowering and amplifying community-based literacies.
