In this comprehensive self-help guide, Lori Robinson has created a
valuable resource for African-American survivors of sexual assault
(as well as their families, friends, and communities). Robinson
walks readers through the ways survivors can achieve emotional,
physical, sexual, and spiritual healing, reflecting her firsthand
insight into the particular difficulties African-Americans face on
their journey toward recovery. Examining the issue of sexual
assault in African-American communities, she discusses why
African-American women are more likely than white women to
experience sexual crimes-an insightful discussion framed in the
context of the American slave system and modern institutionalized
racism.
Through interviews with prominent African-American lawyers and
judges, Robinson offers accessible explanations of police and legal
systems, advising readers on ways to navigate them effectively.
Doctors and counselors weigh in on the importance of getting good
physical care, using self-care techniques to heal, and finding the
best therapist. I Will Survive also includes chapters on educating
children and adults in Black communities to help prevent sexual
assault; prayers and affirmations from Black spiritual leaders in a
variety of religious traditions; an extensive resources section;
and encouraging first-person accounts from Black women (and men)
who have healed from sexual assault and abuse.
