Rock My Soul: Black People and Self-Esteem breaks through collective denial and dares to imagine a more liberatory framework for understanding "self and identity in a world where loss is commonplace." With visionary insight, hooks exposes the underlying reality that it has been difficult--if not impossible--for our nation to create a culture that promotes and sustains healthy self-esteem. Without self-esteem people begin to lose their sense of agency. They feel powerless. But it is never too late for any of us to acquire the healthy self-esteem that is needed for a fulfilling life. While originally written in 2002, hooks' insights into the heart and soul of the Black American identity crisis continue to ring true. Through history, pop culture criticism, and hard-won wisdom, hooks writes about what it takes to heal the scars of the past, promote and maintain self-esteem, and lay down the roots for a truly grounded sense of community and collectivity. Moving beyond the ways historical racial justice movements have failed, hooks also identifies diverse psychological barriers and collective traumas keeping us from well-being. In highlighting the roles of desegregation, education, the absence of progressive parenting, spiritual crisis, or fundamental breakdowns in communication between Black women and men, bell hooks identifies mental health as a revolutionary frontier--and provides guidance for healing within the Black community.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6803327</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6803327</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6803327109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Black People and Self-esteem</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668147573/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talking Back]]></title><description><![CDATA[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.

Who is allowed to become a member of a community? When can we say that we truly belong? These are some of the questions of place and belonging that renowned cultural critic Bell Hooks examines in Belonging: A Culture of Place. Traversing past and present, Belonging charts a cyclical journey in which Hooks moves from place to place, only to end where she began-her old Kentucky home. Hooks has written provocatively about race, gender, and class; and in this book she turns her attention to focus on issues of land and land ownership. Reflecting on the fact that 90% of all black people lived in the agrarian South before mass migration to northern cities in the early 1900s, she writes about black farmers, about black folks who have been committed both in the past and in the present to local food production, to being organic, and to finding solace in nature. It would be impossible to contemplate these issues without thinking about the politics of race and class. Reflecting on the racism that continues to find expression in the world of real estate, she writes about segregation in housing and economic racialized zoning. In these critical essays, Hooks finds surprising connections that link of the environment and sustainability to the politics of race and class that reach far beyond Kentucky.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6475752</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6475752</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6475752109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Culture of Place</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798765015056/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[All About Love]]></title><description><![CDATA[A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces."The word 'love' is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb," writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society's failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question "What is love?" her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the "100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life." All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6545109</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6545109</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6545109109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>New Visions</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063342699/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.

As she describes: "the essays in Black Looks are meant to challenge and unsettle, to disrupt and subvert."

Ein grossartiges Plädoyer für die Macht der Liebe Liebe(n) geht uns alle an. Unsere Sehnsucht und Suche nach Liebe hören nie auf. Egal wie alt wir sind. Warum fällt es uns dennoch so schwer, den wahren Stellenwert der Liebe gesellschaftlich anzuerkennen? Weshalb verharren so viele Menschen in Beziehungen, die schon lange nicht mehr liebevoll sind? Wieso stossen vor allem ältere Frauen mit ihrem Liebesbedürfnis an Grenzen? Wo kollidieren Geschlechterrollen mit Erwartungen? Was hat der Feminismus damit zu tun? Wie hat die feministische Bewegung unsere Vorstellung von Liebe beeinflusst und verändert? Und inwieweit stecken wir bei Liebesdingen alle in patriarchalen Denkmustern und Machtstrukturen fest?Mit souveräner Offenheit begegnet die renommierte Literaturwissenschaftlerin bell hooks diesen Fragen. Jenseits aller Dogmen und Schuldzuweisungen entwirft sie eine neue Kunst des Liebens; basierend auf Freiheit, Selbstliebe und echter Verbundenheit. Meisterhaft. Für alle Frauen (und Männer), die sich Gedanken über die Liebe machen, ist dieses Buch ein Valentinstaggeschenk. Los Angeles Times Die Vision einer Welt, in der die Liebe zur Macht durch die Macht der Liebe ersetzt werden kann. Time Out New York Die Suche nach Liebe und die Suche nach einem Mann sind zwei sehr verschiedene Vorhaben. Eine funktionierende Beziehung ist nicht das Gleiche wie eine Beziehung, in der man sich liebt. Die grösste Tragödie der Ehe in der patriarchalen Gesellschaft ist nicht die Tatsache, dass sich so viele Paare scheiden lassen, sondern dass noch mehr Partner zusammenbleiben, ohne einander zu lieben. Nichts zeigt den Schulterschluss zwischen Frauen und dem Patriarchat stärker als die Bereitschaft, sich so zu verhalten, als könnten die Probleme, die sich durch die gesellschaftliche Verbreitung sexistischer Ansichten über die Rollen von Mann und Frau ergeben, dadurch gelöst werden, dass Frauen härter daran arbeiteten. Frauen, die sich daran festklammern, dass Männer bereitwillig lernen würden, fürsorglicher zu sein, wenn sie selbst nur ihr Verhalten änderten, verschliessen die Augen vor der Wahrheit. Ihre Verleugnung stärkt das Patriachat, schafft aber keine Welt, in der Frauen und Männer einander lieben können. Das antipatriarchale Denken, demzufolge Frauen und Männer gleichermassen lernen können zu lieben und geliebt zu werden, ist die einzige Basis, auf der dauerhafte, erfüllende, einvernehmliche Liebe entstehen kann. In meinem ersten Buch, alles über liebe , ging es um die Bedeutung und die Praxis der Liebe im allgemeineren Sinne. Das vorliegende Buch ist eine persönlichere Beschreibung dessen, wie sich mein Blick auf die Liebe im mittleren Alter veränderte. Indem ich meine Suche nach wahrer Liebe nachzeichne, schaue ich mir an, auf welche Weise die Auswirkungen der feministischen Bewegung das Leben von Frauen für immer verändert haben, wie die Bewegung breite, zuvor versperrte Wege hin zur gesellschaftlichen Gleichstellung mit Männern eröffnet hat. Frauen haben mehr Freiheit als je zuvor, und trotzdem ist nicht klar, ob diese Freiheit uns den Zugang zur wahren Liebe erleichtert hat.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6254261</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6254261</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[ger]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6254261109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Alles über Verbundenheit</subtitle><language>ger</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9783365000205/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sisters of the Yam]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Sisters of the Yam, bell hooks reflects on the ways in which the emotional health of black women has been and continues to be impacted by sexism and racism.

In ihrem provokativen und zutiefst persönlichen Werk entwirft die bekannte Wissenschaftlerin, Kulturkritikerin und Feministin eine neue Ethik für unsere Gesellschaft der Lieblosigkeit - eine polarisierte Gesellschaft, so bell hooks, der es nicht etwa an Romantik mangelt, sondern an Fürsorge, Anteilnahme und Gemeinschaft. An einem Leitbild für die Liebe. Wie können wir die Kluft überwinden, die uns trennt, und unser kulturelles Paradigma ändern, das Liebe in Sehnsucht und Sex erfüllt sieht? Wie können wir wieder echte Anteilnahme lernen und das gemeinschaftliche Leben in unseren Familien, Schulen oder Arbeitsplätzen festigen?Mit scharfem Verstand stellt sich bell hooks der schwierigen Frage, was Liebe bedeutet. Ihre Antworten sind immer bestechend und treffen bis ins Mark. Und am Ende erschliesst sich eine neue Sicht auf die Liebe: einer angstbefreiten Liebe, die von sakraler Kraft getragen, erlösend und heilsam ist - nicht nur heilsam für Individuen, sondern für eine ganze, in sich gespaltene Nation. Ein warmherziger Beweis, dass Liebe möglich ist, und ein Angriff auf unsere selbstbezogene und narzisstische Kultur.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6254310</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6254310</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[ger]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6254310109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>neue Sichtweisen</subtitle><language>ger</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9783749951147/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Salvation]]></title><description><![CDATA["A manual for fixing our culture...In writing that is elegant and penetratingly simple, [hooks] gives voice to some things we may know in our hearts but need an interpreter like her to process."--Black Issues Book ReviewNew York Times bestselling author, acclaimed visionary and cultural critic bell hooks continues her exploration of the meaning of love in contemporary American society, offering groundbreaking, critical insight about Black people and love.Written from both historical and cultural perspectives, Salvation takes an incisive look at the transformative power of love in the lives of African Americans.

But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In The Will to Change, 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, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselves'and lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive province of women. A brave and astonishing work, The Will to Change is designed to help men reclaim the best part of themselves.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6031514</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6031514</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6031514109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Men, Masculinity, and Love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797104355/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.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6037264</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6037264</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6037264109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Black Women and Feminism</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781977343307/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feminism Is for Everybody]]></title><description><![CDATA["Genuine feminist politics always brings us from bondage to freedom, from lovelessness to loving... There can be no love without justice." -from the chapter "To Love Again: The Heart of Feminism"In this engaging and provocative volume, bell hooks introduces a popular theory of feminism rooted in common sense and the wisdom of experience. Hers is a vision of a beloved community that appeals to all those committed to equality, mutual respect, and justice. Hooks applies her critical analysis to the most contentious and challenging issues facing feminists today, including reproductive rights, violence, race, class, and work. With her customary insight and unsparing honesty, Hooks calls for a feminism free from divisive barriers but rich with rigorous debate. In language both eye-opening and optimistic, Hooks encourages us to demand alternatives to patriarchal, racist, and homophobic culture, and to imagine a different future. Hooks speaks to all those in search of true liberation, asking readers to take look at feminism in a new light, to see that it touches all lives. Issuing an invitation to participate fully in feminist movement and to benefit fully from it, Hooks shows that feminism--far from being an outdated concept or one limited to an intellectual elite--is indeed for everybody. Bell Hooks is the author of numerous critically acclaimed books on the politics of race, gender, class, and culture. A frequent lecturer in the United States and abroad, she is Distinguished Professor of English at City College, City University of New York.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6253855</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6253855</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6253855109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Passionate Politics</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772561289/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching to Transgress]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Teaching to Transgress, Bell Hooks--writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual--writes about a new kind of education, educations as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Bell Hooks speaks to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise critical questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching its self. "To educate as the practice of freedom," writes Bell Hooks, "is a way of teaching that any one can learn." Teaching to Transgress is the record of one gifted teacher's struggle to make classrooms work.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6042851</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6042851</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[hooks, bell, 1952-2021]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6042851109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>Education as the Practice of Freedom</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772561319/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sisters of the Yam]]></title><description><![CDATA["In Sisters of the Yam, bell hooks reflects on the ways in which the emotional health of black women has been and continues to be impacted by sexism and racism.
