Fugitives might not know what freedom will look or feel like, or how the path to get there will unfold, but they courageously hold liberation in their hearts as they begin the journey. And just as a blade is tempered into sharpness and strength, the fugitive is tempered through resilient and loving action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRooted in personal story, Black feminist wisdom, and imaginative ancestral realms, \u003ci\u003eTemper\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to step away from analysis and intellect as our primary forms of knowledge and into the freedom of fugitive practice. Because like Autumn says, \"Fugitive practice states--I am not the worst things that have happened to me. I am not a slave. I am free.\" Like the runaway slave escaping the plantation and entering an unseen future, freedom results from a practice of wayfinding that offers us a side door into a joyful, just world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAutumn offers us the tools to alchemize our collective suffering so we may practice more freedom. Through liberatory lessons around discipline, spiritual awakening, martial awareness, and embodied practice, we can begin to view our individual and collective wounds as a portal of transformation and liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Autumn Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164963451X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649634511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Essentials \/ Sounds True\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Autumn Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48240983638271,"sku":"9781649634511","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90c8fbd8-f0a8-4b6e-962b-2b7667aed38e.jpg?v=1772652224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/temper-autumn-brown-9781649634511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
