Preface to the new edition -- Loving blackness as political resistance -- Eating the other : desire and resistance -- Revolutionary black women : making ourselves subject -- Selling hot pussy : representations of black female sexuality in the cultural marketplace -- A feminist challenge : must we call every woman sister? -- Reconstructing black masculinity -- The oppositional gaze : black female spectators -- Micheaux's films : celebrating blackness -- Is paris burning? -- Madonna : plantation mistress or soul sister? -- Representations of whiteness in the black imagination -- Revolutionary "renegades" : native Americans, African Americans, and black Indians;"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 readers who have engaged with the book since its original release in 1992 can attest, that's exactly what these pieces do." --
