Every time I read bell hooks, she puts my brain through a salad spinner and leaves me confused, exhilarated and, hopefully, changed. I've seen none of these movies (except Paris is Burning) and yet I'm riveted.

There are only so many times you can listen to discussions about movies you’re not familiar with all suffering from the same critique. Individually each essay in interesting, but you lose steam one after the other

bell hooks’ works and critiques, like this book is presenting, would always remain relevant and intriguing. In particular, her critique of Paris is Burning, somewhat could also be applied to today’s certain white audience’s obsession with the new Netflix tv series about Dahmer, the serial killer—in making connections between white gaze of the pains and sufferings of the Black communities. Rest in power, bell hooks!
