Transformative Change : 10 Essays on Race & Spirituality
Stories surround us and define our life journeys. Storytellers abound within communities of color and give vision and voice to global audiences interested in how to cope with adversity and resist conformity. These stories explore personal growth. Ten authors, who practice spiritual principles coupled with courageous social action and self-love, offer lessons on how people from diverse communities from different generations have transcended oppression through commitments to spiritual principles.
From different ethnic and tribal backgrounds- Native American, Asian American, Caribbean, African American and multi-racial- they share how they navigate, survive, and thrive amidst the dangers life presents, always acknowledging ancestors, personal shortcomings, and the power of the spiritual insight. Two interviews on Native American life highlight both youth and elder Indigenous Knowledge Systems.
From race and gender issues in family life, community-based projects, education, law and teaching abroad, female incarceration, anti-racism training models, to coming-of-age narratives on the impact of racism in their lives, each author’s perspective adds to the cultural lessons we need to learn to rebuild our world using reflective practice in multiracial conversations. Authors explore the links between storytelling, self-awareness, leadership, and social justice
