Their cycle of embodied critical learning has become the cornerstone for social justice education in somatic psychology. The revised edition updates their integrative approach to social justice through compelling personal disclosure combined with case examples and practice models to help practitioners everywhere. This second edition is so very timely and is an essential read for somatic practitioners and mental health professionals alike. Chris Walling, Former President, United States Association of Body Psychotherapy Ground-breaking and indispensable for critical and feminist theory, this book provides important new ways of thinking about how bodies are shaped, influenced, and colonized within unequal societies. In a time of growing social inequality, the author offers real insights into how we might resist the social, political, and cultural changes that are lived through our bodies. Sherry Shapiro, Professor Emerita of Dance Education, Meredith College, USA Oppression spares no body. The injustices we craft our lives within are both systemic and intimate, taking root in the flesh. Rather than pit the political against the body, Embodied Social Justice reveals their interpenetration, opening up mindful awareness of the life of the political within our very tissues and movements. Mary Watkins, Professor Emerita of Community, Liberation, Indigenous and Ecopsychologies, Pacifica Graduate Institute, USA A much needed, well-written, and profoundly useful book that will help change the course of somatics and social justice work. Through research and first-hand stories, the author shows us the effects of oppression on all bodies, then follows up with practical, powerful, and progressive practices that can bring us back home to ourselves.
