BREAKING BREAD : INSURGENT BLACK INTELLECTUAL LIFE / Cornell West and Bell Hooks| produced by Radio Free Maine. - Bell Hooks and Cornell West, co-authors of "Breaking Break: Insurgent Black Intellectual Life," examine the role of African-American intellectuals in bringing about social change. They explore race and gender as exemplified in the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas confrontation, rap music, and the film Boyz in the Hood. They challenge assumptions of feminism, racial solidarity, Black Nationalism, multiculturalism, classism, and white supremacy. Intellectuals, they conclude, must indentify underlying messages and contradictions in the world. If they can accomplish this then social change is possible. - !!CONTAINS SENSITIVE LANGUAGE!! !!RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS!!
