My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies
Description
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER”My Grandmother’s Hands will change the direction of the
movement for racial justice.”— Robin DiAngelo, New York Times bestselling
author of White FragilityIn this groundbreaking book, therapist Resmaa Menakem
examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of trauma
and body-centered psychology.The body is where our instincts reside and where
we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills
that plague society. Menakem argues this destruction will continue until
Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is
deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn’t just affect
African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well.
So do blue Americans—our police.My Grandmother’s Hands is a call to action for
all of us to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but about the
body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our
entrenched racialized divide.Paves the way for a new, body-centered
understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our
nervous system.Offers a step-by-step healing process based on the latest
neuroscience and somatic healing methods, in addition to incisive social
commentary. Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP, is a leading voice in today’s
conversation on racialized trauma and the creator of Cultural Somatics, which
utilizes the body and its natural resilience as mechanisms for growth. As a
therapist and the founder of Justice Leadership Solutions, a leadership
consulting firm, Resmaa dedicates his expertise to coaching leaders through
civil unrest, organizational change, and community building Read more
