Her focus is on spectatorship--in particular, the way blackness and black people are experienced in literature, music, television, and especially film--and her aim is to create a radical intervention into the way we talk about race and representation. As she describes: \"the essays in \u003ci\u003eBlack Looks\u003c\/i\u003e are meant to challenge and unsettle, to disrupt and subvert.\" As students, scholars, activists, intellectuals, and any other readers who have engaged with the book since its original release in 1992 can attest, that's exactly what these pieces do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cultural critic, an intellectual, and a feminist writer, \u003cb\u003ebell hooks\u003c\/b\u003e is best known for classic books including \u003ci\u003eAin't I a Woman, Bone Black, All About Love, Rock My Soul, Belonging, We Real Cool, Where We Stand, Teaching to Transgress, Teaching Community, Outlaw Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eReel to Real. \u003c\/i\u003ehooks is Distinguished Professor in Residence in Appalachian Studies at Berea College, and resides in her home state of Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46586117161157,"sku":"9781138821552","price":76.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/jnBfhJuctZ9781138821552.webp?v=1784884698","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/black-looks-race-and-representation-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
