Title : All About Love: New Visions Material Type: printed text Authors: bell Hooks, Author Publisher: WIlliam Marrow Publication Date: 2000 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-06-095947-0 General note: Paperback Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Family and Relationships Keywords: Love, Feminism, Culture Abstract: All About Love offers radical new ways to think about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. In eleven concise chapters, hooks explains how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. She offers a rethinking of self-love (without narcissism) that will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives, and asserts the place of love to end struggles between individuals, in communities, and among societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, hooks notes the ties between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all.
Visionary and original, hooks shows how love heals the wounds we bear as individuals and as a nation, for it is the cornerstone of compassion and forgiveness and holds the power to overcome shame.
For readers who have found ongoing delight and wisdom in bell hooks's life and work, and for those who are just now discovering her, All About Love is essential reading and a brilliant book that will change how we think about love, our culture-and one another.All About Love: New Visions [printed text] / bell Hooks, Author . - [S.l.] : WIlliam Marrow, 2000.

FictionKeywords: actors, life changing events, traveling theater, South America Abstract: "Nelson’s life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man, his brother has moved away, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother, and his acting career can’t seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in the touring revival of the legendary play by the leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe. It takes Nelson out of the shelter of the city and across a battle-scarred landscape he's never seen. With each performance, he grows closer to his fellow actors, becoming hopelessly entangled in their lives. Then during one memorable performance, a long-buried betrayal surfaces to force the troupe into chaos, and forces Nelson to face the shattering consequences that ca result from even our smallest choices."
