Bell Hooks frasi celebri

“Gli oppressi lottano con la lingua per riprendere possesso di sé stessi, per riconoscersi, per riunirsi, per ricominciare. Le nostre parole sono azioni, resistenza.”

Bell Hooks

Citazioni da Elogio del margine

“È da bambini che si impara cos'è l'amore. Che in casa ci sia un'atmosfera felice o un clima di tensione, che la famiglia sia funzionale o disfunzionale, è da lì che ci vengono le prime lezioni d'amore. Non ricordo di aver mai provato il desiderio di chiedere ai miei genitori una definizione dell'amore. Per la mia mente di bambina amore era il benessere che si provava quando in famiglia ti facevano capire che eri importante e tu trattavi gli altri come persone che contavano. L'amore coincideva sempre e solo con il benessere.”

Significantly, the one-dimensional perspective on women&#x27;s reality presented in her book became a marked feature of the contemporary feminist movement. Like Friedan before them, white women who dominate feminist discourse today rarely question whether or not their perspective on women&#x27;s reality is true to the lived experiences of women as a collective group. Nor are they aware of the extent to which their perspectives reflect race and class biases, although there has been a greater awareness of biases in recent years. of white supremacy; it is only by analyzing racism and its function in capitalist society that a thorough understanding of class relationships can emerge. Class struggle is inextricably bound to the struggle to end racism.
