Descrizione
“The word ‘love’ is often defined as a noun, and yet… we’d all like it better if we used it as a verb,” writes Bell Hooks as she goes out fighting and burning in All About Love. Here, in her most provocative and intensely personal way, the renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist twists our view of love as romance, offering in its place a new, proactive ethic for a people and society free of lovelessness.”
As Bell Hooks uses his incisive mind and razor-sharp pen to explode the question, “What is love?” his answers strike both the mind and the heart. In thirteen concise chapters, Hooks examines his search for emotional connection and society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. Shaving away the cultural paradigm that ideal love is steeped in sex and desire, he provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and a nation. The Utne Reader declared Bell Hooks one of “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful affirmation of just how profoundly he can do so.
