All About Love by bell hooks, an iconic American Black feminist writer

(bell hooks is the pen name of Gloria Jean Watkins)

 

Published in 2000, All About Love is a personal and

academic examination of love—

parental, platonic, romantic, communal, and self—

within the cultural contexts of patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy.

As she works to establish a definition and understanding

of love, hooks generates a practical manual for

living in conscientiously loving ways.
