Essay Topics

1.

Representation of Black people in the media has changed since Killing Rage: Ending Racism was published in 1995. How does the media created after 2000 represent Black people and Blackness? How does the media promote or challenge the values of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy?

2.

hooks doesn’t use the term intersectional but argues for the “interconnectedness” of race, gender, and class issues (139). How does her idea of interconnectedness compare with the idea of intersectionality from other writers? Why might hooks have adopted the term “interconnectedness” instead of “intersectionality?”

3.

How does hooks’s use of Black nationalist ideas, like Black self-determination, differ from how they were originally used and/or how they are used by other authors, especially male authors?
