Abstract

bell hooks was one of the most influential voices in critical and culturally-responsive education. In recognition of the magnificence of bell’s contributions to the field of education, this book is the first of its kind to bring together scholars, educators, and young people to honor her broad and deep legacy. Written in letter form, each chapter reflects how bell hooks’ many influential books have shaped the lives and livelihoods of the people who have read them. Narrative in style and accessible to a wide audience of readers, this collection serves as a bridge between the philosophical and the practical components of bell’s work, as authors demonstrate the direct influence and application of hooks’ legacy in their lives. Love Letters to bell hooks is a wonderful companion to any of bell’s other works and is especially relevant to undergraduate and graduate Education students, as well as in-service educators pursuing professional development.
