Part 1 Communion by bell hooks Summary"Communion: The Female Search for Love" by bell hooks is a profound exploration of the complexities surrounding love, particularly for women. In this work, hooks reflects on the challenges women face in understanding and experiencing love in a patriarchal society that often prioritizes power over connection. Key Themes:Love as a Spiritual Journey: hooks emphasizes that love is not merely an emotion but a multifaceted experience that can foster spiritual growth. She challenges the conventional notions of love, advocating for a deeper understanding that encompasses self-love, love for others, and a broader sense of community.The Impact of Patriarchy: The author discusses how patriarchal values can distort women's perceptions of love, encouraging them to sacrifice their needs and desires for relational harmony. This often leads to feelings of unfulfillment and disconnection.Importance of Community: hooks argues that love is not just an individual pursuit but a communal one. Building support networks and nurturing relationships with other women are vital for personal well-being and liberation. She highlights the importance of sisterhood and collective healing.Self-Love and Empowerment: A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the concept of self-love, which hooks considers essential for any authentic relationship. She asserts that women must learn to love themselves to seek fulfilling and healthy romantic relationships.Love as Resistance: Love is portrayed as an act of resistance against societal norms. hooks sees the act of loving as a way to combat systemic oppression and reclaim autonomy. By embracing love, women can reclaim their power and challenge the status quo. Conclusion:"Communion" is not just a theoretical exploration but also a call to action for women to redefine their understanding of love away from societal expectations. By advocating for self-love, community, and authentic relationships, hooks empowers women to cultivate a life rich with connection and purpose.In summary, bell hooks' "Communion" serves as a critical examination of love through a feminist lens, urging readers to embrace a more holistic and transformative approach to love in their lives.Part 2 Communion Authorbell hooks, an influential American author, feminist, and social activist, released the book "Communion: The Female Search for Love" in 2002. This book explores the complexities of love and relationships from a feminist perspective, encompassing themes of love, intimacy, and the societal expectations placed on women.Throughout her career, bell hooks wrote numerous books covering a wide array of topics, including feminism, race, culture, and media. Some of her most notable works include:Ain't I a Woman? Black Women and Feminism (1981) Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics (2000) All About Love: New Visions (2000) The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love (2004) Black Looks: Race and Representation (1992) Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom (1994) The Present is the Future: A Vision for the Women's Movement (2014) In terms of the best editions of her works, editions such as "Feminism Is for Everybody" and "All About Love" are particularly well regarded for their accessibility and profound insights into love and feminism. Both books are considered seminal works that have influenced many readers and discussions about love and gender. Overall, bell hooks' contributions to literature and social thought continue to resonate, making her works relevant for contemporary discussions in feminism and beyond.Part 3 Communion Chapters"Communion: The Female Search for Love" by bell hooks explores the complex nature of love, particularly as it...

This week I dive into some of the work Freud wrote later in his life, particularly a book called Civilization and its Discontents published in 1930. Freud believed that the evolutionary process we can use to trace the changes humans have gone through over the centuries can also explain why culture itself has evolved as it has. He basically thinks we are all self-deceiving, chronically unfulfilled and unsatisfied bots programmed to lie to ourselves above all else, and to avoid feeling guilt or shame based on unavoidable urges we all have by lying to ourselves and everyone else about those urges existing. Instead we redirect them. Killing someone in revenge becomes laser tag this weekend. Driving 100mph like an asshole to work everyday becomes gokarts and beers on Friday night. Cheating with the neighbor becomes an Only Fans subscription or a weekend at a swinger's convention. In this episode I cover morality, guilt, shame, intoxication, sublimation, civilization, and Freud's views on why all of these things exist in the human species. Support the show

The contemporary era of black intellectual thought 1975 to the present is characterized by a growth in black feminist thought, an expansion of rainbow coalitions by prominent black leaders, an explosion of the black middle class and a black bourgeoisie, and an extension of black political, social, and cultural ideas by influential scholars and academics. In opposition to the New Left Movement, there was a significant rise in conservatism not just in America but throughout the globe. This led to a drastic decrease in liberal welfare programs as well as a decrease in the practical reliance on socialism: Booker T. Washington's ideology specifically concerning education became the norm in the contemporary era. This period also witnessed the rise of the New Jim Crow: a system of mass incarceration and control of millions of primarily poor black and brown people as evidenced by millions of dollars governmental investment in for-profit prisons throughout America. The eventual election of President Barack Obama was not only a call to transcend the partisan bickering of Washington, but his presidency stood as a symbol of black excellence against traditional social hierarchies of white supremacy. The feminist Barbara Smith at the 1980 Combahee River Collective argues that world changing revolution don't have to just redistribute resources, but they also must be pro-feminist and antiracist to be comprehensive enough to include the most historically marginalized people in the modern era, black women. Many feminist and male freedom fighters such as the black panthers, were political prisoners who have garnered immense support for freedom in the modern era. Furthermore, the seminal first black mayor of Chicago Harold Washington through his reform of the segregated city revealed its racist structure and sought to undermine it. Intellectual feminists such as Audre Lorde indicated the necessity of identifying the elements of the oppressor in the oppressed, while Dr. Bell Hooks sought to illustrate the hierarchies of race, class, and gender and how we can overcome them. This era also saw massive opposition to the South African Apartheid state that lasted for four decades by such black icons such as Randall Robinson and Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson's rainbow coalition from his run for presidency in the mid 1980s would foreshadow the rise of Barack Obama to the presidency in 2008, 20 years later. However, education perspectives would transform more than politics. Academic scholars would shift the consciousness of minority student towards a greater appreciation of education by moving away from Eurocentric models of learning. What scholars like Dr. West and politicians like President Obama would recognize is that political advancement is more seated in understanding the need for hope, meaning, and purpose rather than identifying elements of subjugation against black America. These ideas would be drawn from many black figures of the past such as academics like W.E.B. Du Bois and social reformers like Dr. King and President Abraham Lincoln.

In this book, hooks addresses the crisis of masculinity, emphasizing the detrimental effects of patriarchal culture on men, women, and society as a whole.Key themes include:1. Redefining Masculinity: hooks argues that traditional definitions of masculinity are harmful. She advocates for a redefinition that allows men to embrace vulnerability, emotional expression, and love without fear or shame.2. Emotional Suppression: The book discusses how patriarchal norms encourage men to suppress their feelings and how this leads to emotional pain and relational dysfunction. hooks emphasizes the importance of emotional honesty and connection.3. Love as Redemption: love is presented as a powerful force that can lead to healing and transformation for men. hooks argues that understanding love can help men break free from societal limitations and foster healthier relationships.4. The Role of Women: hooks highlights the ways in which women can help in this transformation by encouraging men to embrace a fuller range of emotions and supporting their journey toward redefining masculinity.5. Cultural Critique: Throughout the book, hooks critiques the influences of media, culture, and socialization in shaping men's identities and behaviors. She calls for collective efforts to change the narratives around masculinity.Overall, "The Will to Change" is a call to action for both men and women to engage in conversations about gender and to work towards a healthier, more loving understanding of masculinity that benefits everyone in society.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Will to Change"The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love" by bell hooks is a significant work that addresses the complexities of masculinity, the impact of patriarchy, and the necessity for emotional growth and love in men's lives.

This week, we're having a herstory moment! Professor and Chair of the Africana Studies Department at Wellesley College Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson joins the show this week to talk Black abolitionists and resistance. We get to know civil rights leader Mabel Williams, spouse and partner of Robert F. Williams, and how she and her husband mobilized Black folks to take up arms and defend themselves in the face of extreme racism in the sixties. We start off with a moment for the cover of Professor Carter Jackson's forthcoming book We Refuse. It features Soldier of Love, not Sade's chart topper, but the beautiful and poignant painting by Brooklyn-based artist Taha Clayton.Disclaimer: While we're happy that gun violence has overall decreased in the United States, it continues to be troubling. We're conscious of how intense gun debates can get and want to stress that this conversation explores how communities took up arms in self-defense against lethal racism. We are not advocating for general gun violence.Remoy introduces Mabel and Robert Williams via their infamous black and white Bonnie and Clyde photo.Prof Carter Jackson breaks down the Williams' approach to self-defense. Robert F. Williams slept with a gun under his pillow to be ready to defend himself for the KKK's night rides: violent runs where Klan member went into Black communities, attacked folks and raided homes.Our guest stresses that though someone likeDr. Martin Luther King preached nonviolence and preferred it, he kept an arsenal of weapons in his home to be ready for self-defense against racist assailants. He'd previously been attacked and firebombed and became ready.The Kissing Case in Monroe, NC is a turning point for the Williamses.In 1958, James Thompson and David Simpson are respectively 9 and 7 years of age. They are playing in the neighborhood when one of the white girls kisses each of them on this cheek. This instance erupts into these young Black boys being accused of rape and arrested. They are beaten and isolated from their parents.Carter Jackson lends context for how terrifying this situation was for these young boys in a warzone-like environment and especially at that age.Remoy shares a few clips from an Oprah WInfrey Show interview in which James Thompson and David Simpson, now adults, recount the horrifying experience.Mabel and Robert make plans to defend their community by mobilizing their community into a rifle club including 60 members of all genders. They became NRA members.Mabel even protected her home from police officers coming into their home without a warrant.Carter Jackson stressed the importance of people knowing the law and arming themselves with that knowledge.Swimming pools were the sight of a lot of child drownings.Remoy shares a clip of Mabel recounting how she and Robert advocated for Black children to use pools safely.While Robert still erred on the side of nonviolent resistance, Mabel was adamant that not using guns for defense was akin to suicide. She even let her sons participate in the resistance, which highlights an important point about how violence and protection aren't as strictly masculine as we sometimes think of them as.Carter Jackson emphasizes Black women's role in community protection. The lack of protection they've historically received has made rise to the occasion of being their own protectors and protectors of the community.[Black women] have never been allowed to occupy the space of the damsel in distress. They've always been seen as undeserving of protection.Mabel knew how the presence of guns was enough to deter potential violence. And she was right. Violence severely deescalated.Carter Jackson stresses the importance of Mabel and Robert's partnership because Robert tends to get all the credit for these efforts.Remoy shares a clip of Mabel describing how she didn't necessarily want the credit but just wanted to do the work.Carter Jackson and Samantha have a moment about the importance of highlighting all the people in the resistance and give credit where it's due. Black women have always been soldiers in the resistance and that should be common knowledge.Racism is not the only thing folks were fighting. Violent sexism must also be challenged and that calls for women's leadership.Carter Jackson brings up Rosa Parks's home being a fortress of guns. Fannie Lou Hammer was also ready to use violent force to defend herself.Black woman in general were aware of how powerful guns were even if they didn't shout it from the rooftops. The gun was enough to make their position known.In our Five Questions segment, Professor Kellie Carter Jackson distills women's anger and they can use it as a driving force. Our guest shares how anger is a big driving force for a lot of her work.She stresses the importance of reparations, not just monetarily, but how do we repair the hurt and destabilization Black communities have endured?Carter Jackson breaks down how she arrived at the title of her forthcoming book, We Refuse.Refusal is the why of resistance.bell hooks has a famous quote about Black men and white women being one stage away from the ultimate social power: white men's power.Samantha asks how Black men and masculine people can champion partnership and women's leadership in the resistance. Carter Jackson delivers a textbook-worthy answer. (48:02)We close out with a great note on how to get to liberation. Dr. Carter Jackson stresses how binaries and individualism pigeon-hole us away from collective freedom. She envisions how to move past that. Thanks for listening!

"For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?" — Bell Hooks

Episode Summary:Liberation theology is a theological movement that emerged primarily in Latin America in the late 20th century, although its principles and ideas have influenced theological discourse worldwide for millennia. It seeks to address the social, economic, sexual, gendered, and political oppression experienced by marginalized and disadvantaged individuals and communities. Liberation theology actually dates all the way back to the Old Testament prophets, and can be witnessed in almost every spiritual tradition.At its core, liberation theology emphasizes the gospel's message of liberation and justice for the oppressed and marginalized. It announces God's preferential treatment of the poor, marginalized, and oppressed. God loves the margins because God was marginalized. It was Jesus' second-rate existence that allowed him to see and feel what those at the center of society were sheltered from and thus callously indifferent to. Seeking liberation and justice is the sine qua non of Christian discipleship. Standing in solidarity with the oppressed is one of the more practical ways to live out our faith in a cruel world.People on the periphery, those victims of our forced conformity, have the ‘eyes to see' what many of us at the center simply cannot see without their guidance. “To be in the margin is to be part of the whole but outside the main body,” writes Bell Hooks. Which gives those on the outside a different vantage point, as well as the power to create change. Today, we're having a conversation about change, injustice, liberation, and salvation and I can think of no one more perfect to address these issues than Kalie May Hargrove from The Center For Prophetic Imagination.In this episode we'll address:The systematic rights violations LGBTQIA students face at Christian collegesWhy liberation is more biblical than eternal salvationWhat you can do to work for justice in your communityHow to stand against the genocide in GazaSubverting the empires we find ourselves living in and benefiting fromBio:Kalie May Hargrove (she/her) is a writer, theologian, and activist. She lives in the greater-Atlanta area with her partner and two kids. Kalie has been part of LGBTQ+ activism bringing awareness of the legalized discrimination queer and trans students face at religious universities.

Kalie is Director of Digital Outreach at the Center for Prophetic Imagination, which seeks to connect spirituality with intersectional social justice in our world.Please follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!
