About this listen

In an awesome meeting of minds, cultural theorists Stuart Hall and bell hooks met for a series of wide-ranging conversations on what Hall sums up as "life, love, death, sex." From the trivial to the profound, across boundaries of age, sexualities and genders, hooks and Hall dissect topics and themes of continual contemporary relevance, including feminism, home and homecoming, class, black masculinity, family, politics, relationships, and teaching. In their fluid and honest dialogue they push and pull each other as well as the listener, and the result is a book that speaks to the power of conversation as a place of critical pedagogy.

Amazing discussions captured in this audiobook, but genuinely quite confusing to follow the conversation when there is only one voice narrating both Hall and hooks (with the rare interjection of a moderator). Ideally, this should have had one voice actor to narrate hooks and another for Hall, in order to allow the back and forth to flow clearly, without having to wonder who is saying what. Interesting nonetheless but the single narrator ultimately makes it difficult to follow.
