Communion

One of America‘s most revered thinkers culminates her love trilogy (All About Love: New Visions and Salvation: Black People and Love) with Communion: The Female Search for Love. In Communion, hooks addresses women‘s issues with love, detailing how women of all ages can come to love their changing bodies, can find a partner in love later in life, can reinvigorate a love life after children have left the nest, can fall in love with a career again or after venturing into a new one, and can find a healthy balance between work, love and family. Imaginative and original, hooks shows women how to come to terms with issues of love and intimacy. And Communion is hooks‘ most personal and prescriptive love treatise to date. She shares with us how her choices regarding marriage, life partners, children, and career have both haunted and thrilled her. By delving into the changing role of womanhood and femininity in this post-feminist era, revealing her own personal and professional life and offering prescriptive real-life advice, hooks offers a re-thinking of women‘s self-love and self-acceptance.
