All About Love author bell hooks and other innovative Black thinkers explore 'coolness' within Black culture, in this 10th anniversary edition of Rebecca Walker's visonary essay collection.
"[This] slim anthology gives itself a formidable task: pinning down the elusive definitions of 'Black Cool,' an aesthetic and a philosophy that echoes across the African diaspora." -The Atlantic
Originally published in 2012, this collection of illuminating essays exploring the ineffable and protean aesthetics of Black Cool has been widely cited for its contribution to much of the contemporary discussion of the influence of Black Cool on culture, politics, and power around the world.
Curated by Rebecca Walker, and drawing on her lifelong study of the African roots of Black Cool and its expression within the African diaspora, this collection identifies ancestral elements often excluded from colloquial understandings of Black Cool: cultivated reserve, coded resistance, intentional audacity, transcendent intellectual and spiritual rigor, intentionally disruptive eccentricity, and more.
Black Cool offers an excavation of the African roots of Cool and its hitherto undefined legacy in American culture and beyond. With essays by some of America's most innovative Black thinkers, including:
• Visual artist Hank Willis Thomas
• Writer and filmmaker dream hampton
• MacArthur-winning photographer Dawoud Bey
• Fashion legend Michaela Angela Davis
• Critical theorist and cultural icon bell hooks
This edition includes a new introduction from Rebecca Walker, a powerful meditation on the genesis, creation, completion, and subsequent impact of this landmark volume over the last decade.
