Belonging: A Culture of Place
By bell hooks
About this book
In these essays, bell hooks considers what it means to return to Kentucky and make a home there. Family, land, rural Black life, and experiences of exclusion help her think through the demands of belonging. The book brings personal memory into a broader discussion of who can claim a place and what it takes to care for it.
