First published 2001
In Salvation, renowned scholar bell hooks dissects the transformative power of love within Black American life. Through personal stories and cultural analysis, she reveals how love can both liberate and imprison - from the legacy of slavery to modern-day struggles over sexual pleasure and Black leadership. Combining the politics of W.E.B. DuBois with fresh insight, hooks offers a blueprint for creating beloved communities that can heal our nation's culture of lovelessness.
