Book Reviews of Where We Stand: Class Matters
Book Review: Class does matter
Summary: 5 Stars
bell hooks did a wonderful job on this book. I strongly believe that the world today is seperated by classes and people are judged by what social class they fall under. bell hooks talks about how women are treated differently by how they dress and where they go to school. She brings up topics that society does not want to deal with. She did a wonderful job analyzing and describing the way things have changed and stayed the same since she was a child. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has any interest in the way society is run today.Book Review: forthright, rigorous
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally decided to come to terms with how class affects the decisions I make and that people make on my behalf. bell hooks is a rigorous thinker who questions assumptions,especially her own. I liked the blend of experience and academic evidence she uses in the essays. Thinking about class raises a lot of emotion, especially shame, and having an intellectual basis for processing it helps. An excellent place to start.Book Review: Where We Stand
Summary: 5 Stars
Bell Hooks Where We Stand: Class Matters, I like the book because she talks about how her life was as a child then transitions into her college experiences with class, coming from a poor family. He book constantly remind you how hard life can be coming from a poor working class family. This is a good book I enjoyed it because she just her life story the way tha it was good and bad.Book Review: thanks bell hooks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks bell hooks! I have never read a book that explained so clearly the feelings I've had growing up in a working class family and the struggles I've endured (even as a white girl). I sensed bell hooks compassion and spirituality throughout this book. I only wish that our political leaders and our religious leaders would take time to read it.Book Review: concise and clear
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always interested in what bell hooks has to say, but this is one of her best. We hear more these days about the increasing class divide in America, and bell speaks clearly to the cultural issues and access to political power of the working classes, especially when those poorer people are of ethnic groups and when they are women.
