    All about Love: New Visions

    A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces."The word 'love' is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb," writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society's failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question "What is love?" her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the "100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life." All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.

    Sisters of the Yam

    Black Women and Self-Recovery

    "Sisters of the Yam, with its mixture of personal narrative, cultural critique, brief literary analyses, and plain, old-fashioned, kitchen table common-sense advice, might very well reach beyond the university to the diverse groups of people that have been hooks’s ‘intended’ audience throughout much of her speaking and writing." —Sandra Adell, African American Review (1995) "In Sisters of the Yam, hooks articulates black women’s healing as an expression of ‘liberatory political practice.’ This statement transformed my consciousness as a health activist. By simply caring for myself, I can be a revolutionary. . ." —Sariane Leigh, The Feminist Wire (2012)

    Race, Gender, and Cultural Politics

    Praise for the book: "For hooks, radical cultural criticism is rooted in a commitment to black liberation struggle. She examines representations of black people and black life in literature and popular culture to understand how such representations enhance and undermine the capacity of African-Americans to determine their own fate. She focuses, in particular, on the ways in which such representations work to either enslave or liberate blacks, reinforce or challenge racism in whites, and sustain or subvert white supremacy. She also remains critical of the ways in which both women's liberation and black liberation continue to be practiced as if black women did not exist." —Clifford L. Staples, Postmodern Culture (1992)

    Black Looks

    Race and Representation

    Praise for the book: "This latest collection from hooks contains a dozen recent essays on the representation of the African American experience, an area in which, she argues convincingly, little progress has been made. . . . Imbued with hooks's theoretical rigor, intellectual integrity, breadth of knowledge and passion, this book is a necessary read for anyone concerned with race in America." —Publishers Weekly (1999) "hooks’s essays raise many of the most significant debates within black cultural life of recent times, such as relations between the sexes and the dangers of racial essentialism inherent in all forms of black nationalism. . . . She casts a fresh perspective on aspects of black women’s writing and black feminist theorising…" —Sally Keenan, Journal of American Studies (1995)

    Tutto sull'amore. Nuove visioni

    Perché abbiamo paura di parlare d'amore? "Tutto sull'amore" di bell hooks nasce da questa domanda che spesso genera imbarazzo, reticenza, e persino rabbia. Nonostante l'amore sia il sentimento più spontaneo e universale, che segna l'esistenza di ogni essere umano, parlarne, confessarlo a qualcuno, provare a raccontare come si agita dentro di noi ci terrorizza e ci disorienta: l'angoscia che le nostre parole non siano comprese, i nostri desideri corrisposti o i nostri sogni realizzati, genera un insensato odio per l'amore che tutti finiamo per vivere. Questo condiziona negativamente il modo che abbiamo di amare, lo contagia di insicurezza e di dolore, guasta la sua capacità di cambiarci e di restituirci speranza, ma soprattutto di migliorare il mondo attorno a noi. Perché l'amore, prima di essere la fantasia fiabesca che anima canzoni, libri e film, è innanzitutto una forza: una forza spirituale, che incide sulle nostre coscienze, ma anche una forza politica, che orienta le decisioni sempre secondo sentimenti di incontro e di costruzione, e mai di dissoluzione e distruzione. Per scongiurare quell'odio contro l'amore è fondamentale imparare ad avere cura di sé, scrive bell hooks, e riappropriarsi dell'amore come spazio in cui ciascun individuo si sente libero di parlare e di ascoltare senza timore ciò che lo agita dentro. Amare, allora, non sarà più sinonimo di soffrire, ma di edificare, progettare, immaginare il domani.

    Selbstliebe. Über Herkunft und Gerechtigkeit

    What's Love Got to Do with It? - Warum Liebe(n) eine gesellschaftliche Notwendigkeit ist ***Mit Farbschnitt in limitierter Erstauflage (Lieferung je nach Verfügbarkeit)*** 'Dieses Buch, das sich mit der aktuellen Bedeutung der Liebe im Leben der Schwarzen befasst und eine Vorlage für das Überleben und die Selbstbestimmung der Schwarzen bieten soll, führt uns kühn zum Kern der Sache. Uns selbst mit Liebe zu begegnen, unser Schwarzsein zu lieben, ermöglicht uns allen, zur wahren Bedeutung von Freiheit, Hoffnung und einem Leben voller Möglichkeiten zurückzufinden.' In 'Selbstliebe' entwickelt bell hooks das Fundament für eine Gemeinschaft, in der Schwarze sowie alle anderen dem Schwarzsein voller Liebe begegnen. Welche Rolle spielt die Liebe für den politischen Widerstand? Wie konnte der Diskurs über Liebe im Zuge der Befreiungsbewegungen deren Wert für eine selbstbestimmte Schwarze Identität torpedieren? Wie kann die Entscheidung, zu lieben, wieder als Akt der Befreiung erfahrbar werden? Und wie können wir unsere Kultur der Lieblosigkeit überwinden? Ob es um das Erbe der Sklaverei, die Bedeutung von Ehe und Beziehung oder um den großen Einfluss der Kunst, Medien und Politik geht, bell hooks eröffnet uns einen klaren Blick auf das Machtgefüge, das bestimmt, wie wir uns selbst und andere lieben. 'Wenn eine so wahrheitsliebende und umsichtige Autorin wie bell hooks ein Buch veröffentlicht, möchte ich draußen vor der Tür der Buchhandlung stehen, wenn sie öffnet.' Maya Angelou, Autorin des Bestsellers 'Ich weiß, warum der gefangene Vogel singt'

    Männer, Männlichkeit und Liebe

    "Männer können nicht lieben, wenn ihnen die Kunst zu lieben nicht beigebracht wurde. Es ist nicht wahr, dass Männer sich nicht ändern wollen. Wahr ist, dass viele Männer Angst vor Veränderung haben. Um lieben zu können, müssen Männer imstande sein, sich von ihrem Wunsch zu verabschieden, andere zu beherrschen." bell hooks erforscht die Welt von Männern und Männlichkeit, um ihren Bedürfnissen und Verletzlichkeiten nachzuspüren, einschließlich der Angst vor Intimität und dem Verlust ihres vom patriarchalen System geprägten Platzes in der Gesellschaft. Sie stellt einfühlsam, feinsinnig und radikal dar, wie männliche Konditionierung Männer prägt und schädigt und ihnen den Zugang zu ihren Gefühlswelten verwehrt. Ihr Buch ruft auf zur Revolution der Werte, zum Abgesang auf traditionelle Männlichkeit und appelliert an uns alle, dem Ethos der Liebe zu folgen. Ein mutiger und wegweisender Text - die Wiederentdeckung einer großen Autorin.
