All About Love: New Visions

Dive into the transformative pages of "All About Love: New Visions," a New York Times bestseller that challenges and redefines the concept of love in contemporary society. Published on January 30, 2018, this groundbreaking work by feminist icon bell hooks is the first in her riveting "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. Aimed primarily at college students and those exploring the depths of gender equality, hooks dissects the polarized state of our world, attributing societal divisions to a fundamental misunderstanding and neglect of authentic love—defined not just as romance but as an action of care, compassion, and community building. In her intensely personal and provocative narrative, hooks questions the conventional paradigms of love infused with sex and desire, offering instead a vision of love as a powerful force for healing and unity. Addressing the lack of a societal model for loving, she proposes a new ethic of love that is redemptive and transformative. Celebrated by the Utne Reader as one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life,” hooks’ insights in "All About Love" provide not just food for thought but a call to action to instill deeper compassion in our homes, schools, and workplaces. Explore how rethinking love can mend our broken society and inspire a more equitable world.
