All About Love: New Visions is a book by bell hooks published in 2000 that analyzes aspects of love in modern society. Hooks combines personal anecdotes as well as psychological and philosophical ideas to develop and strengthen his argument. She focuses on romantic love and believes that in American culture men have been socialized to distrust the value and power of love, while women have been socialized to love in most situations, even when their need to receiving love is not satisfied.
Book SummaryAll About Love offers radical new ways of thinking about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. In eleven concise chapters, the hooks explain how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us, and how these ideals are established in early childhood. She offers a rethink of self-love (without narcissism) that will bring peace and compassion to our personal and professional lives and affirms the place of love to end struggles between individuals, communities, and societies. Moving from the cultural to the intimate, Hooks observes the ties between love and loss and challenges the prevailing notion that romantic love is the most important love of all.
For readers who have found delight and wisdom in the life and work of Bell Hooks, and for those who are just discovering it, All About Love is an essential read and a brilliant book that will change the way we think about love, our culture and each other.

Renowned visionary bell hooks explored the meaning of love in American culture with the critically acclaimed bestseller All About Love: New Visions. She continued her national dialogue with the bestselling Salvation: Black People and Love. Now hooks culminates her triumphant trilogy of love with Communion: The Female Search for Love.
Intimate, revealing, provocative, Communion challenges every woman to courageously claim the search for love as the heroic journey we must all choose to be truly free. In her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by the feminist movement, by women's full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help, and reveals how women of all ages can bring love into every aspect of their lives, for all the years of their lives.
In what is arguably hooks's most popular work, the scholar seeks to clarify the true definition of love in our society. Here she makes the argument that only love can heal social divisions and enable us to come together as a true community. 041b061a72
