In Rock My Soul Hooks breaks through a wall of collective denial to tell a sobering truth--that crippling low Self-Esteem has reached epidemic proportions among blacks.
Why do so many African Americans -- whether privileged or poor, urban or suburban, young or old -- live in a state of chronic anxiety, fear, and shame? In Rock My Soul , Hooks gets to the heart and soul of the African-American identity crisis, offering critical insight and hard-won wisdom about what it takes to heal the scars of the past, promote and maintain self-esteem, and lay down the roots for a grounded community with a prosperous future..
In Rock My Soul , world-renowned scholar and visionary Bell Hooks takes an in-depth look at one of the most critical issues facing African Americans: a collective wounded Self-Esteem that has prevailed from slavery to the present day. Hooks takes readers to the heart of the matter and shows why it has been difficult--if not impossible--for America to create a culture that promotes and sustains healthy self-esteem.
