Synopsis "Writing Beyond Race: Living Theory and Practice "

What are the conditions needed for our nation to bridge cultural and racial divides? By "writing beyond race," noted cultural critic bell hooks models the constructive ways scholars, activists, and readers can challenge and change systems of domination. In the spirit of previous classics like Outlaw Culture and Reel to Real, this new collection of compelling essays interrogates contemporary cultural notions of race, gender, and class. From the films Precious and Crash to recent biographies of Malcolm X and Henrietta Lacks, hooks offers provocative insights into the way race is being talked about in this "post-racial" era.

(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.
