Yearning collects together some of hooks''s classic and early pieces of cultural criticism from the ''80s.

    Abstract: In the critical essays collected in Black Looks, bell hooks interrogates old narratives and argues for alternative ways to look at blackness, black subjectivity, and whiteness. Her focus is on spectatorship-in particular, the way blackness and black people are experienced in literature, music, television, and especially film-and her aim is to create a radical intervention into the way we talk about race and representation. As she describes: ""the essays in Black Looks are meant to challenge and unsettle, to disrupt and subvert."" As students, scholars, activists, intellectuals, and any other r

    DDC: 305.48896073
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: 〈P〉In childhood, bell hooks was taught that ""talking back"" meant speaking as an equal to an authority figure and daring to disagree and/or have an opinion. In this collection of personal and theoretical essays, hooks reflects on her signature issues of racism and feminism, politics and pedagogy. Among her discoveries is that moving from silence into speech is for the oppressed, the colonized, the exploited, and those who stand and struggle side by side, a gesture of defiance that heals, making new life and new growth possible.〈/P〉

    Abstract: 〈P〉When 〈I〉Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center〈/I〉 was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual readers frequently found the theory ""unsettling"" or ""provocative."" Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in the book remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks''s characteristic direct style, 〈I〉Feminist Theory〈/I〉 embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.〈/P〉
