A Must Have

killing rage: Ending Racism
bell hooks
Holt Paperbacks, 1996
Life-Changing
This was my first bell hooks book and, while I wouldn't say I am anywhere near as militant as she is, it gave voice to so many concerns I'd had over the years but didn't have the words or insight to explain. What a magnificent work.
