In the critical essays collected in 'Black Looks', bell hooks interrogates old narratives and argues for alternative ways to look at blackness, black subjectivity, and whiteness. Her focus is on spectatorship, in particular, the way blackness and black people are experienced in literature, music, television, and especially film, and her aim is to create a radical intervention into the way we talk about race and representation.
