The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness
book
Description
This book helps congregations ground their antiracism work in mindfulness practices. Author Rhona V. Magee draws on her experience using mindfulness-based stress reduction to minimize the effects of social bias, and she believes mindfulness practices can minimize the trauma racism can cause. To help readers understand how to use mindfulness in antiracism work, Magee explains how mindfulness helps people understand and respond, instead of react, to experiences of race and identity. The book includes chapters about grounding oneself, seeing racism, and pursuing racial healing in a broken world.
