Black Looks: Race and Representation by bell hooks

Did not finish book.

i was exposed to bell hooks a lot at my very sanctimonious white liberal uni and so I expected that my disinterest in her was largely contextual. not so. this was boring as fuck. i got through the intro and the first essay and skimmed the second before realizing that she wasn't going to make any points that other Black artists haven't made better or more critically. she's appealing to normies who take voting seriously and want a non-threatening quote in Courier font for their Instagram. i gather she's written a whole book about how we should all just love each other? fuck off
