In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans--our police.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy Grandmother's Hands\u003c\/em\u003e is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePaves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy--how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a step-by-step solution--a healing process--in addition to incisive social commentary.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a therapist with decades of experience currently in private practice in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in trauma, body-centered psychotherapy, and violence prevention.
