"It is hard to choose just one book by bell hooks, but this one was one of the first I was introduced to in my freshman year of college, and it also made me interested in studying film as history. I’d already been interested in both film and history and realized I could bring the two together, and also think through larger concerns about life (what I would later learn as intersectionality) was transformative." — MKH
