Here Bell Hooks, one of America's admired critics and writers, talks about class - the elephant in the room - the subject we all know is central to our culture. Why is it that the face of poverty in America is a black face, even though most of the 36 million poor in America are white? How do fantasies of wealth's power help keep the poor poor? What do black teens want, and how do they learn to want it? Are wealthy black Americans any more aware of class issues than wealthy whites? Why do we need so much money, after all? Bell Hooks talks about these and other subjects in her own style.
