"Bell Hooks: Self-Love – On Origin and Justice" is an in-depth exploration of how self-love, especially within oppressed communities, can act as a form of political resilience. Bell Hooks, known for her incisive analyses of race, gender, and class, uses the concept of "self-love" to describe a form of personal and collective empowerment that stems from understanding and accepting one’s identity and origins. In this work, Hooks argues that self-love should not be viewed merely as an individual pursuit of self-acceptance in a social and political context but as a fundamental component for achieving justice and societal change. By engaging with one’s history and culture, individuals can develop a type of love and acceptance for themselves that empowers them and enables resistance against forces of oppression and discrimination. Hooks posits that without deep, rooted self-love, the fight for justice and equality is often overshadowed by hatred and bitterness, which ultimately proves less effective. She emphasizes that true self-love also involves understanding and acknowledging one’s vulnerabilities and weaknesses and turning them into strengths. The book is an invitation to explore oneself more deeply and to view self-love as a revolutionary act that can promote both individual and collective liberation.
