salvation

Published in 2001 as part of her love trilogy, Salvation “examines everything from love in significant works of black literature to popular television shows to rap music, and how these portrayals of love have affected and represented the black community. She also discusses love and how it has affected black figures throughout history, from the days of slavery to the civil rights and Black Power movements up to today. This book is an incredibly influential and meaningful work of healing among races, using the truly universal experience of love to bring us together.” (from bellhooksbooks.com)
