About the book >.>.> What does it mean to call a place home? How do we create community? When can we say that we truly belong? Heartfelt issues of connection and community are the subject of bell hooks’ new book Belonging: A Culture of Place. Moving from past to present hooks charts a journey in which she moves from place to place from country to city and back again only to end where she began in her native place-Kentucky. In this provocative book hooks explores a geography of the heart. She focuses on issues of homeplace of land and land stewardship linking these issues to local and global environmentalism and sustainability. Naturally it would be impossible to contemplate these issues without the politics of race gender and class. hooks writes about ecology sustainability and finding solace in nature. She writes about family and the ties that bind. She focuses on the experiences of black farmers past and present who celebrate local organic food production. With boldness insight and honesty Belonging offers a remarkable vision of a world where all people-wherever they may call home- can live fully and well where everyone can belong. (LL)
