Beskrivelse
The New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother's Hands surveys the deteriorating political climate and presents an urgent call for action to protect ourselves and our country.
In The Quaking of America, therapist and trauma specialist Resmaa Menakem takes readers through a step-by-step program of somatic practices addressing the growing threat of white-supremacist political violence.
Through the coordinated repetition of lies, anti-democratic elements in American society are working to incite mass radicalization, widespread chaos, and a collective trauma response in tens of millions of American bodies.
Currently, most of us are utterly unprepared for this potential mayhem. This book can help prepare us--and, if possible, prevent further destruction.
This preparation focuses not on strategy or politics, but on mental and emotional practices that can help us
