		In the title chapter, hooks is critical of contemporary African male "leadership," which she accuses (rightly, in my opinion) of deserting the revolutionary legacies of Malcolm X and the Black Panther Party, electing instead to play the victim.
		In the chapter "Overcoming White Supremacy," hooks elaborates on her usage of "white supremacy" vis-à-vis "racism"; it is, for her, not merely a matter of semantics.
		Finally, hooks calls on "progressive fl critical thinkers" to reject a strictly "academic" approach to issues affecting African people--to drop the insular jargon and rid themselves of bourgeois notions that to talk straight from the shoulder implies a lack of intellectual sophistication.

	bell hooks and the Politics of Literacy: A Conversation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For hooks, literacy is essential to the future of the feminist movement because the lack of reading, writing, and critical skills serves to exclude many women and men from feminist consciousness.
		This concern that mainstream feminist theorists have not promoted literacy is in keeping with hooks oft-repeated charge that white, liberal, middle-class feminists have traditionally set an agenda for feminism that fails to reflect the concerns of feminists who are also women (or men) of color.
		Clearly, bell hooks' commitment to literacy, composition, critical consciousness, and cultural critique makes her an important ally to those of us involved in literacy studies and composition theory.
