Description
bell hooks writes, "The word 'love' is most often defined as a noun, yet... we would all love better if we used it as a verb." Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, the renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist skewers our view of love as romance.
In its place she offers a proactive new ethic for a people and a society bereft of love. Using her incisive mind and razor-sharp pen, she explores the question "What is love?"—her answers strike at both the mind and heart.
In thirteen concise chapters, hooks examines her own search for emotional connection and society's failure to provide a model for learning to love. Razing the cultural paradigm that equates ideal love with sex and desire, she offers a path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation.
