pickI think the thing that is most interesting but also most upsetting about this book is that it was written in 1995 but is still so relevant. Obviously hooks is brilliant, but it means that the state of discourse around art, race, and gender has really not progressed much in the past 30 years.
FINALLY doing a bit of pleasure reading. Everything I‘ve been reading lately has been for research purposes. Gosh, I‘ve missed you guys! 🤗❤️📚📖
So sad to hear of her death. Her life and writing an inspiration. #bellhooks

“Usually, when people talk about the “strength” of black women they are referring to the way in which they perceive black women coping with oppression. They ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation.” #bellhooks
