Description
Who Is Wellness For? is a thought-provoking exploration of the commodification and appropriation of wellness, and its impact on social justice. Fariha Róisín examines how global healing traditions have been co-opted by the progressive health industry, often at the expense of marginalized communities.
This book is a personal and journalistic investigation, drawing on the author's own experiences with identity, culture, and health. It is divided into four sections, each tackling a different aspect of wellness: the mind, the body, self-care, and justice. Along the way, Róisín offers practical advice and resources for anyone looking to participate in self-care, regardless of their background or circumstances.
By examining the ways in which wellness culture has been shaped by the wisdom of Black, brown, and Indigenous people, Róisín argues that true wellness requires a shift towards a nurturance culture, one that prioritizes the well-being of all individuals, not just those who can afford it.
