Description

Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing The history of African enslavement in the Americas is one of unimaginable trauma and abuse. From the 16th century to the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, Africans were subjected to physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse on a massive scale. The legacy of this abuse continues to impact people of African descent in America today. Dr. Joy DeGruy, a mental health professional with over thirty years of experience, explores the long-term effects of this trauma on African Americans. She encourages readers to consider how centuries of slavery and oppression have shaped their attitudes, assumptions, and behaviors. By examining the history of racial attitudes and behaviors in America, Dr. DeGruy provides a foundation for understanding the ongoing impact of slavery and oppression on the lives of African Americans. This book offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of society's beliefs, feelings, attitudes, and behavior concerning race in America, providing a necessary foundation for the well-being and sustained health of future generations.
