Synopsis "Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations"

According to the Washington Post, no one who cares about contemporary African-American cultures can ignore bell hooks' electrifying feminist explorations. Targeting cultural icons as diverse as Madonna and Spike Lee, Outlaw Culture presents a collection of essays that pulls no punches. As hooks herself notes, interrogations of popular culture can be a 'powerful site for intervention, challenge and change'. And intervene, challenge and change is what hooks does best.

(Kentucky, 1952-2021) Gloria Jean Watkins, known under the pseudonym bell hooks (which she adopted in honor of her great-grandmother Bell Blair Hooks), is an American writer, feminist, and social activist. The focus of her writing has been the intersectionality between race, class, and gender, and what she describes as her ability to produce and perpetuate systems of class oppression and domination. She has published more than 40 books and numerous academic articles, has appeared in documentaries, and participated in public lectures. She has addressed race, class, and gender in education, art, history, sexuality, media, and feminism. In 2014, she founded the bell hooks Institute at Berea College, Berea, Kentucky.
