The loss of bell hooks is a loss first and foremost for Kentucky & black Appalachia. Her book, belonging: a culture of place, noted the below in its salient preface: "Many folks feel no sense of place. What they know, what they have, is a sense of crisis, of impending doom." pic.twitter.com/iyMlxKdrpM

bell hooks was an extraordinary writer, thinker, and scholar who gave us new language with which to make sense of the world around us. Her work was imbued with a deep commitment to truth-telling, but also with a profound sense of care and love for community. She was a treasure.

“No black woman writer in this culture can write "too much". Indeed, no woman writer can write "too much"...No woman has ever written enough.”

bell hooks on the radical uses of Black art: "We create collective awareness of the radical place that art occupies within the freedom struggle and of the way in which experiencing art can enhance our understanding of what it means to live as free subjects in an unfree world."
