Everyone needs to love and be loved -- even men. In this groundbreaking book, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are -- whatever their age, ethnicity, or cultural persuasion. Written in response to the author's in-depth discussions with men who were inspired by her trilogy, All About Love, Salvation, and Communion, bell hooks's The Will to Change addresses maleness and masculinity in new and challenging ways. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks answers the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselves. Only through this liberation will they lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive province of women. Men can access these feelings by giving themselves permission to be vulnerable. As they grow more comfortable and start believing that it's okay to feel, to need, and to desire, they will thrive as equal partners in their intimate relationships. Whether they are straight or gay, black or white, The Will to Change helps men to reclaim the best part of themselves.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6439574</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6439574</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6439574109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Men, Masculinity, and Love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743456081/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[All About Love]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5714041</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5714041</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5714041109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>New Visions</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062862174/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communion]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C848243</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C848243</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/848243109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Female Search for Love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780066214429/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communion]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6253961</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6253961</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6253961109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Female Search for Love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063215955/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Homemade Love]]></title><description><![CDATA[A girl who is Girlpie to her mama and Honey Bun Chocolate Dewdrop to her daddy savors the warmth and love of her family.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5646425</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5646425</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5646425109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781484799352/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ain't I A Woman]]></title><description><![CDATA["A classic work of feminist scholarship, Ain't I a Woman has become a must-read for all those interested in the nature of Black womanhood.

She writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. She advocates the process of teaching students to think critically and raises many concerns central to the field of critical pedagogy, linking them to feminist thought. In the process, these essays face squarely the problems of teachers who do not want to teach, of students who do not want to learn, of racism and sexism in the classroom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for the author, the teacher's most important goal. -- From back cover.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5655520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5655520</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 1994 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5655520109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Education as the Practice of Freedom</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780415908085/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bell Hooks]]></title><description><![CDATA["bell hooks was a prolific, trailblazing author, feminist, social activist, cultural critic, and professor.

Desiring to create a context where black females could both work on their individual efforts for self-actualization while remaining connected to a larger world of collective struggle, Hooks articulates the link between self-recovery and political resistance. Both an expression of the joy of self-healing and the need to be ever vigilant in the struggle for equality, Sisters of the Yam continues to speak to the experience of black womanhood"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5645147</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5645147</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5645147109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Black Women and Self-recovery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781138821682/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Looks]]></title><description><![CDATA["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." -- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6254010</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6254010</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6254010109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Race and Representation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781138821545/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
