Hearts The October Book Harlem review and 9, 2017 Bodies Dispatch by Kam READ WilliamsFor [EBOOK] the past three decades, weâ€ve earnestly tried to address
My white-body Grandmotherâ€s supremacy Hands in America with reason, principle and ideas–using dialogue, forums,
discussions, education and mental training. But the widespread destruction of Black bodies
continues. And some of the ugliest destruction originates with the police. Why is there such a
chasm between our well-intentioned attempts to FREE heal and EBOOK the ever-growing My number of darkskinned
bodies… killed or injured?My Grandmotherâ€s Hand is a call to action for Americans to
recognize that racism is not only about the head, Grandmother's
but also about body. [The book] introduces
an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide and takes

a late loved one, but rather a sobering how-to tome endeavoring to identify and alleviate deepseated
traumas afflicting blacks and whites alike. Our For the Hearts author, a veteran and therapist who has
appeared as a guest on such TV shows as Oprah and Dr. Phil, fervently believes that racism
canâ€t be eradicated by conversation across the Bodies color line alone, READ as so often suggested by wellmeaning
political pundits. He asserts that race-based trauma is so embedded in our bones that it

need for treatment and then get themselves started on the road to recovery. Though the highlycharged
subject-matter might ordinarily be controversial in nature, this text is written in a nonconfrontational
style apt to disarm, engage and enlighten readers, regardless of color or political
persuasion. Kudos to Resmaa Menakem for such a sorely-needed seminal work which
couldnâ€t be more practical or more timely, given this bitterly-divided countryâ€s current state
of race relations.Publishers WeeklyMy Grandmotherâ€s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the

delves into the complex effects of racism and white privilege. Departing from standard academic
approaches, he speaks from the wisdom of his grandmother and his own expertise in somatic
therapy, a field that emphasizes the mind-body connection. Trauma, both present-day and
historical, forms the cornerstone of Menakemâ€s analysis. He writes that race is a
“myth―something made up in the 17th century,― with the concepts of whiteness and racial
superiority nonetheless now “essential facts of life, like birth, death and gravity.― The result is
that both black and white people are traumatized with fear of the racial other and with the “dirty
pain of avoidance, blame, and denial.― At the outset, Menakem implores readers to
“experience― his book in their bodies. To this end, bodycentric activities, such as breath
exercises, are described throughout. Menakem emphasizes body mindfulness, helping readers
move from unhealthy reflexive responses to traumatic emotions to the conscious experience of
“clean pain,― which involves directly facing such emotions and thereby getting past them.
Menakem is specific when directing his messages. “To all my white readers,― he says,
“welcome... letâ€s get to work.― To law-enforcement officers he gives the same welcome.
And to African-Americans, he offers counsel and highlights the value of their experiences.

Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP, posits that racism is embedded in the hearts, souls, and reflexes
of both blacks and whites in American society, and that the trauma (as he describes in depth)
inflicted on many as a result of this fact is harmful to all. Menakem then helps readers get inside
the black experience to encounter everyday threats and the responses of fighting, fleeing, or
