In her groundbreaking work, Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center, hooks is concerned with feminism 'at its most visionary' - a diverse, inclusive and dynamic movement which is as concerned with 'the edge of town' as with its centers of power. Challenging mainstream feminism's reliance on a homogeneous professional leadership, she argues that seeking credibility and acceptance on existing ground has shortchanged the movement.*BR**BR*A sweeping examination of the core issues of sexual politics, Feminist Theory argues that feminists must acknowledge the full complexity and diversity of women's experience to create a mass movement to end oppression. It is time to demand the lasting and more fundamental transformation of society.*BR**BR*Few names resonate within contemporary cultural theory as much as that of bell hooks. A pioneering figure in intersectionalist approaches to gender, race and sexuality, her prodigious output is matched only by the scope of its concern - touching on everything from aesthetics to the politics of identity to the experience of love. These newly re-issued classics are as inspirational as ever.
