Description

This is a critical response to dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticizing art and aesthetics at a time when the art world is locked in an analysis of identity politics. It is a critique of art and visual politics which addresses the question of how art can be an empowering and revolutionary force within the black community. The book's 13 pieces include essays on photography and the representation of black male bodies. The author's other books include "Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black".

Author Biography:

bell hooks is Distinguished Professor in Residence in Appalachian Studies at Berea College. Born Gloria Jean Watkins in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, she has chosen the lower case pen name bell hooks, based on the names of her mother and grandmother, to emphasize the importance of the substance of her writing as opposed to who she is. A writer and critic, hooks is the author of more than thirty books, many of which have focused on issues of social class, race, and gender. Among her many books are the feminist classic Ain’t I a Woman, the dialogue Breaking Bread (with Cornel West), the children’s book Happy to Be Nappy, and the memoir Bone Black. She lives in Berea, Kentucky.
