Hvem er feminismen for, og hvem definerer feminismens kampe? I denne banebrydende klassiker fra 1984 etablerer bell hooks en feminisme, der også inkluderer dem, som lever i samfundets margin. For hooks må feminisme rumme forskelle og uenigheder, og – ikke mindst – forene kvinder såvel som mænd i et fælles opgør med en kapitalistisk og patriarkalsk kultur.bell hooks (1952-2021) var forfatter, politisk aktivist og underviser. Med bøger som "All about love, Ain’t I a Woman?" og "Feministisk teori – fra margin til centrum" står hun som en af vor tids mest indflydelsesrige feministiske tænkere.Bogen er en del af serien Feministisk bibliotek, der samler fire af de mest markante feministiske stemmer fra de sidste 100 år og introducerer de vigtigste diskussioner om forholdet mellem køn, magt og historie.

"Alt om kærlighed" udgår fra den antagelse at vi lever i et kærlighedsløst samfund hvor omsorg, medfølelse og fællesskab glimrer ved deres fravær, og er erstattet med et materialistisk begær efter forbrug. I 13 velskrevne kapitler undersøger forfatteren bell hooks sin egen ’kærlighedshistorie’ og blotlægger med kritisk skarphed familiens og kulturens manglende evne til at give os en brugbar model for at lære at elske. Hun udvikler en ny kærlighedens etik der viser vejen til en mere uselvisk form for kærlighed, som kan hele os både som individer og som samfund. "Alt om kærlighed" tilbyder en ny og radikal måde at tænke over kærligheden og dens politiske potentiale på.

With her characteristic clarity and directness, hooks encourages readers to see how feminism can touch and change their lives--to see that feminism is for everybody.

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.

Written in hooks's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.

Synopsis coming soon.......

Challenging the legacy of slavery, colonization, and ongoing racism that portrays African-American people as unable to love, the author of 'All About Love' explores how the ethic of love has become the foundation of hope and survival.

Author, activist, feminist, teacher, and artist bell hooks is celebrated as one of the nation's leading intellectuals. Born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, hooks drew her unique pseudonym from the name of her grandmother, an intelligent and strong-willed African American woman who inspired her to stand up against a dominating and repressive society. Her poetry, novels, memoirs, and children's books reflect her Appalachian upbringing and feature her struggles with racially integrated schools and unwelcome authority figures. One of Utne Reader's "e;100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life,"e; hooks has won wide acclaim from critics and readers alike. In Appalachian Elegy, bell hooks continues her work as an imagist of life's harsh realities in a collection of poems inspired by her childhood in the isolated hills and hidden hollows of Kentucky. At once meditative, confessional, and political, this poignant volume draws the reader deep into the experience of living in Appalachia. Touching on such topics as the marginalization of its people and the environmental degradation it has suffered over the years, hooks's poetry quietly elegizes the slow loss of an identity while also celebrating that which is constant, firmly rooted in a place that is no longer whole.

What does it mean to call a place home? Who is allowed to become a member of a community? When can we say that we truly belong? This book examines these questions. It discusses the connections that link the environment and sustainability to the politics of race and class.
