    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.

    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)

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.

    Alles über Liebe - Neue Sichtweisen

    Wie wir lieben sollten - der feministische und antirassistische Klassiker erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung»Für viele ist Liebe nichts als ein statisches Wort - dabei könnten wir alle besser lieben, wenn wir es aktiv als Verb gebrauchen.«In ihrem provokativen und zutiefst persönlichen Werk entwirft die bekannte Wissenschaftlerin, Kulturkritikerin und Feministin eine neue Ethik für unsere Gesellschaft der Lieblosigkeit - eine polarisierte Gesellschaft, so bell hooks, der es nicht etwa an Romantik mangelt, sondern an Fürsorge, Anteilnahme und Gemeinschaft. An einem Leitbild für die Liebe. Wie können wir die Kluft überwinden, die uns trennt, und unser kulturelles Paradigma ändern, das Liebe in Sehnsucht und Sex erfüllt sieht? Wie können wir wieder echte Anteilnahme lernen und das gemeinschaftliche Leben in unseren Familien, Schulen oder Arbeitsplätzen festigen?Mit scharfem Verstand stellt sich bell hooks der schwierigen Frage, was Liebe bedeutet. Ihre Antworten sind immer bestechend und treffen bis ins Mark. Und am Ende erschließt sich eine neue Sicht auf die Liebe: einer angstbefreiten Liebe, die von sakraler Kraft getragen, erlösend und heilsam ist - nicht nur heilsam für Individuen, sondern für eine ganze, in sich gespaltene Nation.»Ein warmherziger Beweis, dass Liebe möglich ist, und ein Angriff auf unsere selbstbezogene und narzisstische Kultur.«New York Times Book Review»Jede Seite ist eine wahre Goldgrube an Weisheit, die Leser von ihren überbordenden Verlust- und Intimitätsängsten befreit … hooks Blick auf die Liebe ist eine äußerst befriedigende, optimistische Alternative zu der Vielzahl an Büchern, die den Untergang der Liebe in unserer zynischen Zeit ausrufen.«Publishers Weekly»Erfrischend einsichtsvolle Analysen, die Suchende dazu anleiten, der Bedeutung der Liebe, oder ihrer Bedeutungslosigkeit, auf den Grund zu gehen.«Kirkus Reviews»Schenken Sie bell hooks Ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Die amerikanische Autorin und Kulturkritikerin zu kennen, gehört bald zum guten Ton … ihre Sprache inspiriert, provoziert und öffnet uns die Augen. Sie ist eine akademische Rebellin, eine brillante Feministin, deren messerscharfer Verstand tiefe Schnitte in den neusten akademischen Konventionen hinterlässt.«Boston Globe and Mail»Sie liefert eine erfrischend spirituelle Abhandlung, die sich von allen Schranken des Intellekts befreit und in die wilden Tiefen des Herzens vordringt.«Seattle Weekly»Alles über Liebe: Neue Sichtweisen verspricht eins der fesselndsten, lebensbejahendsten Lektüren des Jahres zu werden. Nähern Sie sich dem Buch mit einem offenem Geist und einem offenem Herzen, und machen Sie sich darauf gefasst, verändert zu werden.«Black Issues Book Review»Genau wie die Liebe ist auch dieses Buch es wert, sich ihm hinzugeben.«Toronto Sun

  12. The Will to Change
    1. Bell , Hooks

    The Will to Change

    Everyone needs to love and be loved -- even men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are -- whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselves -- and lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive province of women. A brave and astonishing work, The Will to Change is designed to help men reclaim the best part of themselves.
