On the December 10th Edition of Social Justice Television we will be featuring distinguished English Professor Bell Hooks as she deconstructs popular culture and examines how it consciously manipulates, perpetuates and reinforces old stereotypes on race and gender to serve what she calls "The White Supremacist, Capitalist, Patriarchy".
To read more about Bell Hooks go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_hooks
She has published more than 30 books, ranging in topics from black men, patriarchy and masculinity to self-help, engaged pedagogy to personal memoirs, and sexuality (in regards to feminism and politics of aesthetic/visual culture). A prevalent theme in her most recent writing is the community and communion, the ability of loving communities to overcome race, class, and gender. In three conventional books and four children's books, she demonstrates that communication and literacy (the ability to read, write, and think critically) are the quintessential to developing healthy communities and relationships that are not marred by race, class, or gender inequalities.
