Cornell West, bell hooks and Michel Foucault

In response to this post: http://397issuesincontemporaryart.blogspot.com/2016/09/httpwww_29.html

There have been many people who have contributed to postmodern idea's and have started conversations about many different area's of life.

Cornel West has done a lot of work on racial justice. He talks about how black Americans are treated poorly and works for people of his race to be treated fairly.

Bell hooks is a feminist author and has contributed to feminist theories. She focuses on how we should be accepting of differences whether they are different because of gender, class, race, or anything else. She also talks about the importance of including men in feminist discussions.

Michel Foucault was interested in the idea that history isn't just about what happened in the past but that history is meant to be learned from. He rejects the idea that the way we do things now is better than in the past.

All of these people have talked about ways to examine the way we think about the world and be more inclusive of what idea's are important. They deconstruct the way things are usually talked about and suggest new ways to think about the world.
