Bibliography Includes bibliographical references.
Summary The first self-help book to examine white-body supremacy in America from the perspective of trauma and body-centered psychology, 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 alternative 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.
