Reading bell hooks and Wendall Berry
Answer the following in 4 groups of six and write the highlights of your answers on the board
- 1. What are some of practices or activities from the past that each author wants to reintroduce into their current personal and political lives to effect environmental/equitable change. Are the authors able to avoid the problem of nostalgia when writing about using past practices to improve present ones?
- 2. According to both authors, what connects racism and environmental devastation? What solutions does each author offer to address racism and environmental devastation?
- 3. Compare hook’s key term, “A Culture of Belonging” (13) that hooks introduces to Barry’s key term “think little” (80). What do these two terms contribute to our discussion of sustainability?
- 4. What are some instances in which the authors use personal narratives or anecdotes to help explain their key concepts? How does personal narrative or anecdotes help the audience to understand ways in which issues of racism and environmental devastation are both personal and political?
Introduction Workshop
Get into groups of four, trade drafts, read one another’s drafts, and then respond to the questions below (either on a sheet of paper OR in the draft document). When finished move trade again, and again, till you finish.

- 3. Does the author connect his/her introduction to a reading from the unit? Does the author include a citation from at least one author?
- 4. What’s one detail or topic you would like the author to add to her/his introduction to help draw you in as a reader or clarify the ideas presented?
