About the Book

"A manual for fixing our culture...In writing that is elegant and penetratingly simple, [hooks] gives voice to some things we may know in our hearts but need an interpreter like her to process."--Black Issues Book Review New York Times bestselling author, acclaimed visionary and cultural critic bell hooks continues her exploration of the meaning of love in contemporary American society, offering groundbreaking, critical insight about Black people and love. Written from both historical and cultural perspectives, Salvation takes an incisive look at the transformative power of love in the lives of African Americans. Whether talking about the legacy of slavery, relationships and marriage in Black life, the prose and poetry of Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin, and Maya Angelou, the liberation movements of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, or hip hop and gangsta rap culture, hooks lets us know what love's got to do with it. Combining the passionate politics of W.E.B. DuBois with fresh, contemporary insights, hooks brilliantly offers new visions that will heal our nation's wounds from a culture of lovelessness. Her writings on love and its impact on race, class, family, history, and popular culture will help us heal and create beloved American communities.

Review :
"When truth teller and careful writer bell hooks offers a book, I like to be standing at the bookshop when it opens. I know I will buy copies for my family and friends and even the odd stranger who I think needs to read books."--Maya Angelou"An impassioned plea . . . flair for crisp writing . . . stinging arguments . . . hooks reaches beyond the theoretical to address various walks of black life."--"Publishers Weekly?hooks offers one of her most touching and tender books to date in "Salvation." . . . [She] offers chapters on Black love that will conjure familiar memories that are warm and inviting.?--"Essence"?A frank and hard-hitting, psychologically astute, and beautifully crafted treatise on the meaning of love and why it's essential to a healthy society. . . . Readers of every hue will benefit from hooks' piercing insights into the troubled state of our collective soul and find solace in her belief that ?love is our hope and salvation.'?-"Booklist?A manual for fixing our culture. . . . In writing that is elegant and penetratingly simple, [hooks] gives voice to some things we may know in our hearts but need an interpreter like her to help process. hooks unflinchingly maps out how these patterns . . . contribute to the still-troubling status of African Americans today. One of the book's major contributions . . . is its probing analysis of how the mass media'entertainment and news'helps to shape what we think about ourselves and what others think of us.?--"Black Issues Book Review
