bell hooks’ Love Trilogy examines love as a social and political force.

The book has experienced a major resurgence among younger readers.
Salvation: Black People and Love (2001) looks specifically at how racism and oppression have shaped love within Black communities, while Communion: The Female Search for Love (2002) explores women’s relationships with love, self-worth, and connection.
