FEMINIST THEORY - BELL HOOKS KARTONIERT (TB)

'[An] intelligently critical  inclusive  personal and very accessible feminist polemic... A
very good book  promoting a feminism which includes women of all classes and colours  and which
does not exclude men either. The experience of ordinary people  rather than largely white
female academics  is at its heart. Still very relevant  and recommended.' Theory.org Feminist
Theory established bell hooks as one of international feminism's most challenging and
influential voices. This edition includes a new preface by the author  reflecting on the book's
impact and the development of her ideas since it was first published. In this beautifully
written and carefully argued work  hooks maintains that mainstream feminism's reliance on white
middle-class  and professional spokeswomen obscures the involvement  leadership  and centrality
of women of colour and poor women in the movement for women's liberation. Hooks argues that
feminism's goal of seeking credibility and acceptance on already existing ground - rather than
demanding the lasting and more fundamental transformation of society - has shortchanged the
movement. A sweeping examination of the core issues of sexual politics  Feminist Theory argues
that contemporary feminists must acknowledge the full complexity and diversity of women's
experience to create a mass movement to end women's oppression.
