Renowned intellectual bell hooks examines popular culture in the context of patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism. Although hooks is mainly known as a feminist thinker, her writings cover a broad range of topics on gender, class, race, teaching and the significance of media for contemporary culture. bell hooks (nee Gloria Watkins) is Distinguished Professor of English at Berea College in Kentucky. She is the author of numerous critically acclaimed and influential books on the politics of race, gender, class, and culture. Her first book, Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism (South End Press, 1981) was named one of the "twenty most influential women's books of the last twenty years" by Publishers Weekly in 1992. Contemporaries of hooks express admiration for her intellect, breadth, and influence. Cornel West, hooks' contemporary and co-author, calls hooks "the most prolific intellectual of her generation-a bold and courageous writer who probes the neglected dimensions and dark corners of our culture" (from The Cornel West Reader p. 541). | |
