Ebook: Critical perspectives on Bell Hooks

"Although bell hooks has long challenged the dominant paradigms of race, class,and gender, there has never been a comprehensive book critically reflecting upon this seminal scholar's body of work. Her written works aim to transgress and disrupt those codes that exclude others as intellectually mediocre, and hooks's challenge to various hegemonic practices has heavily influenced scholars in numerous areas of inquiry, This important resource thematically examines hooks's works across various disciplinary divides, including her critique on educational theory and practice, theorization of racial construction, dynamics of gender, and spirituality and love as correctives in postmodern life. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective for scholars and students wanting to engage in the prominent work of bell hooks, and makes available to its readers the full significance of her work. Compelling and unprecedented, Critical Perspectives on bell hooks is a must-read for scholars, professors, and students interested in issues of race, class, and gender."--BOOK JACKET. Read more...
