My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies

My Grandmother’s Hands Psychology is a strong choice for therapists and clinicians who want practical, reliable insight into trauma.

“My Grandmother’s Hands will change the direction of the movement for racial justice.”— Robin DiAngelo, New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility In this groundbreaking book, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism 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, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. Menakem argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies.
