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. In this ground-breaking work, therapist, Menakem, examines
the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of
body-centred psychology. He argues this destruction will continue
until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white
supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all American bodies. This
collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White
Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue
Americans - the police. MY GRANDMOTHER'S HANDS is a call to action
for everyone to recognise that racism is not about the head, but
about the body and introduces an alternative view of what everyone
can do to grow beyond this entrenched racialised divide. * Paves
the way for a new, body-centred understanding of white supremacy -
how it is literally in the blood and the nervous system. * Offers a
step-by-step solution - a healing process - in addition to incisive
social commentary.
