Black Looks
In the critical essays collected in Black Looks, bell hooks interrogates old narratives and argues for alternative ways to look at blackness, black subjectivity, and whiteness. Her focus is on spectatorship—in particular, the way blackness and black people are experienced in literature, music, television, and especially film—and her aim is to create a radical intervention into the way we talk about race and representation. As she describes: "the essays in Black Looks are meant to challenge and unsettle, to disrupt and subvert." As students, scholars, activists, intellectuals, and any other readers who have engaged with the book since its original release in 1992 can attest, that's exactly what these pieces do.
A Nautical Odyssey
"A Nautical Odyssey, David C Bells third book, is a product of his two passions painting and maritime history. It charts his journey through time from Cook to Shackleton, picking out the ships who s line and design captivates him and the mariners for whom he has the utmost admiration. This odyssey has been illustrated and annotated by him to produce this book that will be coveted by anyone with any interest in the sea and art. He has linked together factual text with paintings charged with artistic vision to create this beautiful book which is not only fascinating to read but also a pleasure to behold, a stunning marriage of words and pictures."--Publisher description.
Breaking Bread
In this provocative and captivating dialogue, bell hooks and Cornel West come together to discuss the dilemmas, contradictions, and joys of Black intellectual life. The two friends and comrades in struggle talk, argue, and disagree about everything from community to capitalism in a series of intimate conversations that range from playful to probing to revelatory. In evoking the act of breaking bread, the book calls upon the various traditions of sharing that take place in domestic, secular, and sacred life where people come together to give themselves, to nurture life, to renew their spirits, sustain their hopes, and to make a lived politics of revolutionary struggle an ongoing practice. This 25th anniversary edition continues the dialogue with "In Solidarity," their 2016 conversation at the bell hooks Institute on racism, politics, popular culture and the contemporary Black experience.
