Description:
In Salvation, bell hooks explores how the ethic of love -- which has historically been the foundation of hope and survival in Black life -- is increasingly attacked and undermined. Challenging the legacy of slavery, colonization, and ongoing racism, which portrays Black folks as less than human and unable to love, hooks insists that claiming the right to love is the only way to restore the meaning of true hope and possibility in all our lives.

Whether talking about relationships and marriage in Black life, the prose and poetry of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Malcolm X, and Maya Angelou, the liberation movements of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, sexual pain or pleasure, hip-hop and gangsta rap culture, addiction, greed, or the failure of Black leadership, hooks lets us know what love's got to do with it.
