Bell Hooks is one of the most widely published black feminist scholars in the U.S. An outspoken cultural critic, educational theorist and professor of English, she is famous for her analyses of the politics of race, gender, class and culture, and for her attacks on what she calls the “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” (coined in “Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black”). Her works include “Ain’t I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism”, “Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom”, “Reel to Real: Race, Sex, and Class at the Movies”, “Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics” and “Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope”.

Hooks has written three children’s books, including “Happy to be Nappy”. She appears in the documentary films “Baadasssss Cinema”, “My Feminism” and “Give a Damn Again”, the latter with Cornel West, with whom she also co-authored the 1991 book, “Breaking Bread: Insurgent Black Intellectual Life”.
