    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)

    Yearning

    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)

    Praise for the book: "On the one hand, [Talking Back] is a political treatise of the Black feminist movement as it grapples with the contradictions of class, gender, and sexual relations; on the other, it is a deeply intimate account of personal and political maturation within that framework." —Melba Wilson, Feminist Review (1989)

    Ain't I a Woman

    Black Women and Feminism

    Praise for the book: "Ain’t I a Woman is one of the most interesting, lucid books dealing with the subject of Feminism. The book can be recommended wholeheartedly to anyone who is interested in black history, in women’s history, or in that much-overlooked connection between the two." —Maria K. Mootry Ikerionwu, Phylon (1983) "…an absorbing delineation of the American black woman’s mark(s) of oppression at the hands of racist, misogynist, imperialist, capitalist patriarchy….Feminists must read this book…" —Cheryl Clarke, Off Our Backs (1982) "Since the publication of Ain’t I A Woman in 1981, bell hooks has become one of the United States’ most acute cultural critics. Writing from a clearly stated position as an African American woman, hooks’s early work helped re-map feminist theory in the United States with her consistent analysis of the interrelationships of race, gender and class in contemporary cultural life." —Sally Keenan, Journal of American Studies (1995)

    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)

    Scrivere oltre la razza

    In "Scrivere oltre la razza", bell hooks affronta il dibattito contemporaneo sul razzismo e offre un punto di vista radicale per eliminare le barriere socioculturali che ci dividono, ancora oggi, per colore, classe e genere, anche all'interno del femminismo. Hooks parte da un assunto fondamentale: l'ideologia suprematista bianca è più viva che mai e plasma l'esistenza di chiunque, non solo delle persone nere, trasmettendosi all'interno delle singole comunità lungo i binari delle differenze economiche, sociali e di genere. Un condizionamento avviene, per esempio, dal momento in cui i bambini e le bambine vengono introdotti alla cultura dominante (che per l'autrice si riassume nella locuzione 'patriarcato capitalista imperialista suprematista bianco'), specialmente attraverso i media, l'educazione scolastica e l'influenza - a volte negativa - dei loro compagni. Spaziando dall'estetica che perpetua l'immagine della donna bianca e bionda come 'più bella', sino alle rappresentazioni razzializzate dei personaggi neri in film e libri contemporanei, e prendendo spunto dalle biografie di Malcolm X e Martin Luther King, l'analisi di bell hooks è chirurgica nell'evidenziare quali siano i problemi e quanto facciano parte dell'impalcatura stessa su cui si regge la nostra società. Ma, come sempre, la sua scrittura non ci lascia imprigionati nell'evidenza di una questione sociale. Ogni barriera può e deve essere abbattuta e la soluzione è ancora una volta l'amore, perché dove c'è amore non può esserci dominio. Attraverso le pratiche di cui ha fatto esperienza in prima persona e che sono il fulcro del suo attivismo, come quelle dell'ascolto, della condivisione e della partecipazione nella diversità, è possibile superare il razzismo e trasformare radicalmente la nostra vita quotidiana.
