Krátky popis
From the late feminist icon and New York Times bestselling author
of All About Love, an in-depth look at one of the most critical
issues facing Black Americans: a collective wounded self-esteem
that has prevailed from slavery to the present day, with a new
introduction by Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Thick.Why do so
many Black Americans—whether privileged or poor, urban or suburban,
young or old—live in a state of chronic anxiety, fear, and shame?
Rock My Soul: Black People and Self-Esteem breaks through
collective denial and dares to imagine a more liberatory framework
for understanding “self and identity in a world where loss is
commonplace.”With visionary insight, hooks exposes the underlying
reality that it has been difficult—if not impossible—for our nation
to create a culture that promotes and sustains healthy self-esteem.
Without self-esteem people begin to lose their sense of agency.
They feel powerless. But it is never too late for any of us to
acquire the healthy self-esteem that is needed for a fulfilling
life.While originally written in 2002, hooks’ insights into the
heart and soul of the Black American identity crisis continue to
ring true. Through history, pop culture criticism, and hard-won
wisdom, hooks writes about what it takes to heal the scars of the
past, promote and maintain self-esteem, and lay down the roots for
a truly grounded sense of community and collectivity.Moving beyond
the ways historical racial justice movements have failed, hooks
also identifies diverse psychological barriers and collective
traumas keeping us from well-being. In highlighting the roles of
desegregation, education, the absence of progressive parenting,
spiritual crisis, or fundamental breakdowns in communication
between Black women and men, bell hooks identifies mental health as
a revolutionary frontier—and provides guidance for healing within
the Black community.
