This book thematically examines hooks’ works across various disciplinary divides, including her critique on educational theory and practice, theorization of racial construction, dynamics of gender, and spirituality and love as correctives in postmodern life.
This collection of feminist essays develops approaches to either ethics or social and political philosophy (or both). Characterizing feminist ethics and social and political philosophy as marked by a tendency to be non-idealizing serves to thematize the volume. Each of the essays is able to consider any of the many questions relevant to subordinated people: or reflects theoretically on the significance of non-idealizing as an approach to feminist ethics or social and political philosophy.
