Stitching together girlhood memories with the finest threads of
innocence, feminist intellectual bell hooks presents a powerfully
intimate account of growing up in the South. A memoir of ideas and
perceptions, "Bone Black" shows the unfolding of female creativity
and one strong-spirited child's journey toward becoming a writer.
She learns early on the roles women and men play in society, as
well as the emotional vulnerability of children. She sheds new
light on a society that beholds the joys of marriage for men and
condemns anything more than silence for women. In this world, too,
black is a woman's color--worn when earned--daughters and daddies
are strangers under the same roof, and crying children are often
given something to cry about. hooks finds good company in solitude,
good company in books. She also discovers, in the motionless body
of misunderstanding, that writing is her most vital breath.
