bell hooks’ Spiritual Vision: Buddhist, Christian, and Feminist by Nadra Nittle- Release date: Nov. 7
The death of Black feminist and scholar bell hooks rocked the literary world in 2021. She was known for her incredible contributions to feminist theory, her deep analysis of race and class, and its complicated context within American culture.
But there were a few things that fans may not have known about the revered writer. She was a devout Buddhist Christian who lived a full spiritual life outside of her literary work. Nittle deconstructs hooks’ book Spiritual Vision, to recount how the legendary scholar and author lived her best Buddhist life, a spiritual practice that she kept secretary for years, “fearing that there was no room to discuss her faith in the feminist movement or in the academy,” a synopsis for the book reads.
