    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: For bell hooks, the best cultural criticism sees no need to separate politics from the pleasure of reading. Yearning collects together some of hooks''s classic and early pieces of cultural criticism from the ''80s.

The result is a poignant collection of essays which, like all of hooks''s work, is above all else concerned with transforming oppressive

    Keywords: Electronic books
    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

    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〉

    DDC: 304.2/3
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Most social geography undergraduate textbooks are structured around different social categories, splintering the discussion of gender, class, race and increasingly now sexuality and disability, into separate chapters. This has the effect, firstly, of making social relations rather than space (the raison d'etre of human geography) the focus of undergraduate books; secondly of ignoring the way that social relations are negotiated and contested in different space. Rather than reproducing this conventional social geography format the aim of this proposed text is to make space the focus of analysis

Children cannot be effective in tomorrow's world if they are trained in yesterday's skills.""Cyberkids draws together research in the sociology of childhood and social studies of technology to explore children's experiences in the Information Age. The book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, children's identities and friendships in on-line and off-line worlds and their relationships with families and teachers.

The daily pick and mix of our eating habits is one way we experience spatial scale. From the relationship of our food intake to our body-shape, to the impact of our tastes upon global food-production regimes, we all read food consumption as a practice which impacts on our sense of place.Drawing on anthropological, sociological and cultural readings of food consumption, as well as empirical material on shopping, cooking, food technology and the
