Synopsis "Reel to Real: Race, Class and Sex at the Movies (in English)"

Movies matter - that is the message of Reel to Real, bell hooks' classic collection of essays on film. They matter on a personal level, providing us with unforgettable moments, even life-changing experiences and they can confront us, too, with the most profound social issues of race, sex and class. Here bell hooks - one of America's most celebrated and thrilling cultural critics - talks back to films that have moved and provoked her, from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction to the work of Spike Lee. Including also her conversations with master filmmakers such as Charles Burnett and Julie Dash, Reel to Real is a must read for anyone who believes that movies are worth arguing about.

(Kentucky, 1952-2021) Gloria Jean Watkins, conocida bajo el seudónimo de bell hook (que adoptó en honor a su bisabuela Bell Blair Hooks), es una escritora, feminista y activista social estadounidense. El enfoque de su escritura ha sido la interseccionalidad entre raza, clase y género, y lo que ella describe como su capacidad para producir y perpetuar sistemas de opresión y dominación de clase. Ha publicado más de 40 libros y numerosos artículos académicos, ha aparecido en documentales y participado en conferencias públicas. Se ha ocupado de la raza, la clase y el género en la educación, el arte, la historia, la sexualidad, los medios de comunicación y el feminismo. En 2014, fundó el Instituto bell hooks en Berea College, Berea, Kentucky.
