Art on My Mind

A rich, thought-provoking collection of essays, critiques and interviews from the influential author of Ain't I a Woman and All About Love'If one could make a people lose touch with their capacity to create, lose sight of their will and their power to make art, then the work of subjugation, of colonization, is complete. Such work can be undone only by acts of reclamation.'In a collection of essays, critiques and interviews, bell hooks responds to the ongoing dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticising art and aesthetics in a world increasingly concerned with identity politics. hooks shares her own experience of the transformative power of art whilst exploring topics ranging from art in education and the home to the politics of space and imagination as a revolutionary tool. She positions her writings on visual politics within the ever-present question of how art can be empowering within the Black community. Speaking with artists such as Carrie Mae Weems and Alison Saar, and examining the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Art on My Mind is a generous and expansive body of work that has become increasingly relevant since it was first published in 1995. Here is an essential tool for understanding the contemporary moment, and a fundamental text for any reader concerned with making and sustaining a democratic artistic culture.

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.

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.
