Times bestseller and enduring classic All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist
icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a
polarized society and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about
love and inspiration to help us instill caring compassion and strength in our homes schools
and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun yet we would all love better
if we used it as a verb ” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About
Love . Here at her most provocative and intensely personal renowned scholar cultural critic
and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness—not
the lack of romance but the lack of care compassion and unity. People are divided she
declares by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her
incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and
heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire she
provides a new path to love that is sacred redemptive and healing for individuals and for a
nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your
Life.” All About Love is a powerful timely affirmation of just how profoundly her
revelations can change hearts and minds for the better. “Each offering from bell hooks is a
major event as she has so much to give us.” — Maya Angelou
