The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County and the Christian County Literacy Council is continuing the conversation of bell hooks and her work on Saturday, February 11 at 11am at the Corner Coffeehouse. This conversation will center around hooks’s book Belonging: A Culture of Place.
Writer, cultural critic, and Hopkinsville native bell hooks explores what it means to be connected to a place and how that place shapes and affects who we are. hooks writes of creating a narrative map of her past and how that represented the geography of her heart. Through this connection to our past and with a rootedness in a place, hooks evokes a powerful vision of the beloved community where all people can feel as though they belong.
Conversation will be led by Jennifer P. Brown, Francene Gilmer, Alissa Keller, and Gwenda Motley. Reading the book is not necessary; however, limited copies will be available at the Pennyroyal Area Museum or can be purchased through Amazon.
The discussion is FREE to attend.
