bell hooks (1952) är en amerikansk författare, feminist och politisk aktivist, som har skrivit en rad feministiska klassiker. Hennes kritiska studier av kön, etnicitet, klass och sexualitet har haft enorm betydelse för en bredare förståelse av feminism och utvecklandet av intersektionalitetsperspektivet. I denna välskrivna text hävdar Hooks att den vanliga feminismens beroende av vithet, medelklass och professionella taleskvinnors stöd döljer icke-vita och fattiga kvinnors engagemang, ledarskap och centrala ställning inom den kvinnliga befrielserörelsen. hooks argumenterar istället för hur feministisk teori kan (om)formas om marginaliserade röster börjar ta sig ton.

Everyone needs to love and be loved -- even men. 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.

In an awesome meeting of minds, cultural theorists Stuart Hall and bell hooks met for a series of wide-ranging conversations on what Hall sums up as "life, love, death, sex." From the trivial to the profound, across boundaries of age, sexualities and genders, hooks and Hall dissect topics and themes of continual contemporary relevance, including feminism, home and homecoming, class, black masculinity, family, politics, relationships, and teaching. In their fluid and honest dialogue they push and pull each other as well as the reader, and the result is a book that speaks to the power of conversation as a place of critical pedagogy.
