Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations by bell hooks
5.0
Rest in power and love, bell hooks.
This book is a critical literary covering various contemporary and historical issues particularly within the United States.
I enjoyed reading bell hooks’ critical take on those issues, sometimes was surprised by her unpopular take on the popular culture figures I thought were unproblematic before (Spike Lee, Malcolm X, etc.)
But her take was holistic and far from condescending, by urging the readers to zoom out to the bigger picture that is the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy embedded in the country, and to some extent, worldwide.
