My Grandmother’s Hands

Description

Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies

The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee or freeze. My Grandmother’s Hands is a call to action for Americans to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but also about the body. Menakem introduces an alternate view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide and takes readers through a step-by-step healing process based on the latest neuroscience and somatic healing methods.
