Respondona

Respondona deals with the meaning of feminist consciousness in daily life, personal recovery, overcoming white and male supremacy, intimate relationships, and all of this exploring the point where public and private meet. As a child, bell hooks learned that addressing an authority figure as an equal and daring to disagree or give an opinion meant being "talkative." In this collection of essays as personal as they are theoretical, hooks reflects on her classic themes: racism, feminism, politics and pedagogy. One of the things he discovers is that, for the oppressed, the colonized, the exploited and those who rise up and fight hand in hand, going from silence to speaking out is a gesture of defiance that heals and makes possible a life and new growth.
