Description
Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit by Mary-Frances Winters explores the intergenerational impact of systemic racism on the physical and psychological health of Black people. This book defines and explains why society needs to collectively combat its effects. The author argues that living while Black is a daily experience of inequities and atrocities, leading to exhaustion and emotional draining. Despite progress in social justice and diversity initiatives over the past fifty years, little has been achieved in actualizing an equitable society. Winters hopes her book will provide a comprehensive summary of the consequences of Black fatigue and inspire activism for equity and justice. By shedding light on the dire consequences of systemic racism, this book aims to awaken those who care about creating a more just world.
