In both books, he reports on his characters’ inner lives instead of dramatizing them, and in Vanner’s hands especially, the result reads more like a biography than a novel: a narrative without dialogue, in which Rask’s life is given to us more often in summary than in scenes. Diaz relies in contrast on a far one, and his sentences are at once cool, deliberate and dispassionate.

Remembered for works such as “Ain’t I a Woman?: Black Women and Feminism” and “All About Love: New Visions,” hooks dedicated much of her writing to dissecting her community’s norms and fighting the oppressive structures that held it - and similarly marginalized communities - back. Hooks identified as “queer-pas-gay,” writing that she defined queerness as “the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” By doing so, hooks hoped to focus the public on the substance of her work and ideas, rather than race and socioeconomic status that made her and others susceptible to marginalization. Her written works played a significant role in expanding notions of feminism to include Black and working-class women.īorn Gloria Jean Watkins in Hopkinsville, Ky., hooks chose her pen name as a tribute to her great-grandmother Bell Blair Hooks, insisting that her name be spelled without capital letters to deemphasize her individual identity. ![]() Bell hooks ’73, author, professor, activist and queer Black feminist scholar, died on Dec. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() About the Author:īook Description Mass Market Paperback.
