( ) The first bell hooks I've delved into (although she's been on my wishlist for a long time), the introduction convinced me that I'd be reading a lot more. Her description of talking about cultural theory with children and admission that at Yale she felt "limited by conventional pedagogy, by the emphasis on specialization and periodization" made me feel like I'd found someone else to validate my take on the world. Who couldn't love the statement "Merging critical thinking in everyday life with knowledge learned in books and through study has been the union of theory and practice that has informed my intellectual work." no reviews | add a review

According to the Washington Post, no one who cares about contemporary African-American cultures can ignore bell hooks' electrifying feminist explorations. Targeting cultural icons as diverse as Madonna and Spike Lee, Outlaw Culture presents a collection of essays that pulls no punches. As hooks herself notes, interrogations of popular culture can be a ¿powerful site for intervention, challenge and change¿. And intervene, challenge and change is what hooks does best.
