Description
My Grandmother's Hands explores the profound impact of racism on the human body and mind. Therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America, arguing that healing the generational anguish of white supremacy is essential to breaking down racialized trauma.
This book introduces a new perspective on white supremacy, one that recognizes its deep-seated presence in our bodies and nervous systems. Menakem offers a step-by-step healing process based on the latest neuroscience and somatic healing methods, as well as incisive social commentary.
Through his work, Resmaa Menakem aims to empower individuals to recognize the interconnectedness of body and mind, and to take action towards healing and growth. His approach has the potential to transform our understanding of racialized trauma and its effects on our collective well-being.
