Description
The legacy of slavery and its ongoing impact on African Americans is a profound and complex issue. From the transatlantic slave trade to the present day, the experiences of enslaved people and their descendants have been marked by physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. Dr. Joy DeGruy explores the ways in which this trauma has been passed down through generations, shaping the attitudes, assumptions, and behaviors of African Americans. The effects of slavery and its aftermath are still felt today, with ongoing institutionalized subjugation and systemic racism contributing to ongoing injury and healing. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the historical context and its ongoing impact, encouraging readers to examine their own assumptions and behaviors through the lens of history. By exploring the role of history in shaping our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, Dr. DeGruy offers a foundation for healing and well-being.
