Your body is where our instincts reside and where we combat, flee, or freeze, and it endures the injury inflicted by the ills that plague society. On this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the harm triggered by racism in America from the point of view of body-centered psychology. He argues this devastation will continue until People in america learn to mend the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply inserted in all our anatomies. Our collective agony doesn't just influence African People in america. White Americans suffer from their own secondary injury as well. So do blue People in america - our police. My Grandmother's Hands is a proactive approach for all those to identify that racism is not about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative solution view of everything we can do to increase beyond our entrenched racialized separate.

• Paves the way for a fresh, body-centered understanding of white supremacy - how it generally is in our bloodstream and our nervous system
• Offers a step-by-step solution - a treatment process- in addition to incisive sociable commentary
