The trajectory of Bell Hooks
Born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, United States, Hooks began her studies at a public school for blacks, as the US still has schools that practiced racial segregation.

Most of his studies and works seek to deal with race, class and gender. One of Hooks’ main works is the book “Ain’t I a Woman?” or “And I’m not a woman?”, in the free translation into Portuguese. In all, Hooks has more than 30 books published in multiple languages and numerous academic articles.
