Synopsis

In an awesome meeting of minds, cultural theorists Stuart Hall and bell hooks met for a series of wide-ranging conversations on what Hall sums up as "life, love, death, sex." From the trivial to the profound, across boundaries of age, sexualities and genders, hooks and Hall dissect topics and themes of continual contemporary relevance, including feminism, home and homecoming, class, black masculinity, family, politics, relationships, and teaching. In their fluid and honest dialogue they push and pull each other as well as the listener, and the result is a book that speaks to the power of conversation as a place of critical pedagogy.

Goodreads review by Mai on December 17, 2023

This dialogue between bell hooks and Stuart Hall is not entirely uninteresting but completely skippable in my opinion. I find bell hooks quite flirty with Hall here (and you guys will tell me if I'm the only one to see that), which seems unprofessional but maybe they're friends and it's a running jo......more

Goodreads review by Lara on April 02, 2025

Un testo "minore" rispetto ad altri di Bell Hooks, eppure ugualmente incisivo: lontana dal politicamente corretto, lontana dall' autocompiacimento, lontana dal proprio ruolo di filosofa e insegnante, Bell Hooks si racconta a tutto tondo e ci regala una "chiacchierata da bar" originale, autentica e p......more
