A sweeping examination of the core issues of sexual politics, bell hooks' new book Feminist Theory: from margin to center argues that the contemporary feminist movement must establish a new direction for the 1980s. Continuing the debates surrounding her controversial first book, Ain't I A Woman, bell hooks suggests that feminists have not succeeded in creating a mass movement against sexist oppression because the very foundation of women's liberation has, until now, not accounted for the complexity and diversity of female experience. In order to fulfill its revolutionary potential, feminist theory must begin by consciously transforming its own definition to encompass the lives and ideas of women on the margin. Hooks' work is a challenge to the women's movement and will have profound impact on all whose lives have been touched by feminism and its insights.

Nowe wydanie książki, która ugruntowała pozycję bell hooks jako jednej z najbardziej wpływowych i prowokacyjnych teoretyczek feministycznych W tej radykalnej, krytycznej wobec głównego nurtu ruchu feministycznego książce bell hooks broni feminizmu opartego na trzech osiach walki - antyseksistowskiej, antrasistowskiej i antyklasistowskiej - i podkreśla kluczową rolę kobiet niebiałych i niezamożnych w procesie wyzwolenia wszystkich osób, niezależnie od rasy i płci, z sieci dominacji i opresji. Napisana w charakterystycznym, bezpośrednim stylu autorki Teoria feministyczna ucieleśnia przekonanie, że tylko uznając pełną złożoność i różnorodność kobiecych doświadczeń feministki mogą stworzyć masowy, globalny ruch feministyczny.

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. But toxic masculinity punishes those fundamental emotions, and it’s so deeply ingrained in our society that it’s hard for men to not comply—but hooks wants to help change that.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.

bell hooks writes about the meaning of feminist consciousness in daily life and about self-recovery, about overcoming white and male supremacy, and about intimate relationships, exploring the point where the public and private meet.

What’s Love Got to Do with It? – Warum Liebe(n) eine gesellschaftliche Notwendigkeit ist »Dieses Buch, das sich mit der aktuellen Bedeutung der Liebe im Leben der Schwarzen befasst und eine Vorlage für das Überleben und die Selbstbestimmung der Schwarzen bieten soll, führt uns kühn zum Kern der Sache. Uns selbst mit Liebe zu begegnen, unser Schwarzsein zu lieben, ermöglicht uns allen, zur wahren Bedeutung von Freiheit, Hoffnung und einem Leben voller Möglichkeiten zurückzufinden.« In »Selbstliebe« entwickelt bell hooks das Fundament für eine Gemeinschaft, in der Schwarze sowie alle anderen dem Schwarzsein voller Liebe begegnen. Welche Rolle spielt die Liebe für den politischen Widerstand? Wie konnte der Diskurs über Liebe im Zuge der Befreiungsbewegungen deren Wert für eine selbstbestimmte Schwarze Identität torpedieren? Wie kann die Entscheidung, zu lieben, wieder als Akt der Befreiung erfahrbar werden? Und wie können wir unsere Kultur der Lieblosigkeit überwinden? Ob es um das Erbe der Sklaverei, die Bedeutung von Ehe und Beziehung oder um den großen Einfluss der Kunst, Medien und Politik geht, bell hooks eröffnet uns einen klaren Blick auf das Machtgefüge, das bestimmt, wie wir uns selbst und andere lieben. »Wenn eine so wahrheitsliebende und umsichtige Autorin wie bell hooks ein Buch veröffentlicht, möchte ich draußen vor der Tür der Buchhandlung stehen, wenn sie öffnet.« Maya Angelou, Autorin des Bestsellers »Ich weiß, warum der gefangene Vogel singt«
