Salvation: Black People and Love

Summary: love is what we really need
Review: This is one of the most thought-provoking books I have read in a while. Though I purchased this book a few years ago, I only recently picked it up to read. And what a read it was....
bell hooks brilliantly explores and exposes many of the fundamental causes at the root of our society's, particularly the black community's, moral decay and self-deformation. Though written for and to African-Americans, hooks does not exclude non-African-Americans from the "call" to embrace and build a love ethic. She has certainly done her research and her book has encouraged me to do more of my own. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and particularly enjoyed the way she ended with a chapter entitled "love justice". I believe love is the most transformative power we have and in this book bell hooks tells us how and why.

Summary: Buy This Book
Review: What can I say? bell hooks does it again and if the issue of black love is holding you back from buying this book please reconsider. This book speaks to everyone.
