All About Love

New Visions
Book • 2000
In 'All About Love: New Visions,' bell hooks delves into the complexities of love, arguing that it is an act of will rather than a strong feeling.

The book is divided into thirteen chapters, each addressing a different aspect of love, such as childhood, family dynamics, honesty, commitment, spirituality, and community.

hooks reflects on her own experiences and societal teachings on love, emphasizing the importance of clarity, justice, and honesty in loving relationships.

She also critiques the ways in which capitalism and patriarchy distort our understanding of love and advocates for a return to a more authentic and transformative form of love that is rooted in mutual respect, trust, and communication.
