As a white woman in Canada, all I was taught was that integration of schools was a good thing-makes sense, right? But hooks points that a lot of Black parents were skeptical of integration, were just as against it as white parents, albeit perhaps for different reasons. As a Black girl, and a Black woman, growing up in the American South during desegregation and integration. Much of what hooks says feels familiar in what I already do some of what she said pushed me to do better all of what she says just feels so true and right, especially in the current climate.Īt the start of the book, and then returning to it throughout, hooks discusses her experiences with education as a student. As a teacher, of course, this book really spoke to me. I value both books but in different ways. This one is more practical, more focused on work rather than personal life (though hooks, of course, blurs those lines). Teaching to Transgress is quite a different vibe from All About Love.
My second bell hooks book, I read this for the book club I’m a part of. This book was published when I was five years old, yet it remains timeless and in a way prescient.
