Yearning
For bell hooks, the best cultural criticism sees no need to separate
politics from the pleasure of reading.
Yearning
collects together some
of hooks’s classic and early pieces of cultural criticism from the ’80s.
Addressing topics like pedagogy, postmodernism, and politics, hooks
examines a variety of cultural artifacts, from Spike Lee’s film
Do the
Right Thing
and Wim Wenders’s film
Wings of Desire
to the writings
of Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison. The result is a poignant
collection of essays which, like all of hooks’s work, is above all else
concerned with transforming oppressive structures of domination.
A cultural critic, an intellectual, and a feminist writer,
bell hooks
is best known for classic books including
Ain’t I a Woman, Bone Black,
All About Love, Rock My Soul, Belonging, We Real Cool, Where We Stand,
Teaching to Transgress, Teaching Community, Outlaw Culture,
and
Reel
to Real.
hooks is Distinguished Professor in Residence in Appalachian
Studies at Berea College, and resides in her home state of Kentucky.
