In this collection of personal and theoretical essays, hooks reflects on her signature issues of racism and feminism, politics and pedagogy. Among her discoveries is that moving from silence into speech is for the oppressed, the colonized, the exploited, and those who stand and struggle side by side, a gesture of defiance that heals, making new life and new growth possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cultural critic, an intellectual, and a feminist writer, \u003cb\u003ebell hooks\u003c\/b\u003e is best known for classic books including \u003ci\u003eAin'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\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eReel to Real. \u003c\/i\u003ehooks is Distinguished Professor in Residence in Appalachian Studies at Berea College, and resides in her home state of Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50648979308818,"sku":"9781138821736","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_09e5781a-cf2f-4fc4-aa32-4d55fbbe1049.jpg?v=1733254341","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/talking-back-thinking-feminist-thinking-black-9781138821736","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
