<p><strong>'The reader discovers ... that bell hooks is a joy to read, her work a nimbly written hybrid form of social commentary, by turns personal, political, and in-your-face.'</strong> - <em>San Francisco Chronicle Examiner</em></p><p><strong>'<em>Outlaw Culture</em> should be read, regardless of whether one agrees with feminism as presented by hooks. hooks raises critical issues that all should find engaging as well as challenging!'</strong> - <em>Real African World, Bridgitt Mwamini Robertson</em></p><p><strong>'She brings to the task of cultural criticism an astute eye and a courageous spirit ... Hers is a voice that forces us to confront the political undercurrents of life in America.'</strong> - <em>New York Times Book Review</em></p><p><strong>'hooks' style is refreshingly brash and accessible and often inflected by personal experience. Readers may contest her politics, yet few will be unmoved by the spirit that animates these essays; a desire to rethink cultural institutions that sustain racism, sexism, and other systems of political oppression.'</strong> - <em>Publishers' Weekly</em></p>
<p><strong>'[hooks] made a choice to write for the largest possible audience, to change the greatest number of lives.'</strong> - <em>Times Higher Education Supplement</em></p>
