By the New York Times bestselling author of All About Love and Communion
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 Review
Beloved 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. Whether talking about the legacy of slavery, relationships and marriage in Black life, the prose and poetry of Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin, and Maya Angelou, the liberation movements of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, or hip hop and gangsta rap culture, hooks lets us know what love's got to do with it.
hooks brilliantly offers new visions that will heal our nation's wounds from a culture of lovelessness. Her writings on love and its impact on race, class, family, history, and popular culture will help us heal and create joyful and resilient communities.
- Part of the groundbreaking Love Song to the Nation trilogy that includes the New York Times bestsellers All About Love and Communion
- Offers fresh, contemporary insights into the role of love in Black culture and Black people's lives.
- A must read by one of our most acclaimed authors and cultural critics.
