Feminist theory from margin to center

<P>When <I>Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center</I> was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual readers frequently found the theory ""unsettling"" or ""provocative."" Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in the book remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks''s characteristic direct style, <I>Feminist Theory</I> embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.</P>

  • ""Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center established bell hooks as one of feminism's most vital and influential voices. A new preface by the author introduces the second edition of this essential classic to a new generation of feminist readers, while reminding seasoned activists of the need for continual, critical reflection. This carefully argued and powerfully inspirational work is a comprehensive examination of the core issues of sexual politics, including political solidarity among women, men as partners in struggle, and the feminist movement to end violence. Always engaging and frequently provocative, hooks combines an accessible style with critical insight to offer a vision of feminism rooted in compassion, respect, and integrity."--Page 4 of cover."

  • "The book that established hooks as one of international feminism's most challenging and influential voices has been updated with a new Preface by the author reflecting on the book's impact and development of her ideas since it was first published. Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center established bell hooks as one of international feminism's most challenging and influential voices. Now, South End Press makes this invaluable work available in an attractive edition with a new preface by hooks, reflecting on the book's impact and the development of her ideas since it was first published. In this beautifully written and carefully argued work, hooks maintains that mainstream feminism's reliance on white, middle-class, and professional spokeswomen obscures the involvement, leadership, and centrality of women of color and poor women in the movement for women's liberation. Feminism's goal of seeking credibility and acceptance on already existing ground -- rather than demanding the lasting and more fundamental transformation of society -- has shortchanged the movement, hooks argues."@en
