Culture, politics spirituality and practice: A book of resistance and critical theory for disturbing times

This book of resistance and critical thinking for disturbing times is a clarion call. It calls for forms of decolonising therapy that can provide a bridge between the counselling room and social action; for fugitive pedagogies in order to protect education as freedom; for critical thinking about culture; and for connecting with ancestral struggle to strengthen contemporary resistance. Significantly, this book also provides a sense of reassuring company to the reader through personal explorations of spirituality. Makungu Akinyela is an Africana Studies scholar-activist, family therapist, and ordained minister working for social justice in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He is the developer of a culturally specific approach to narrative practice called Testimony Therapy. Drawing on decades of struggles for human rights and justice for Black people in the United States and the African diaspora, this book is a gift and a challenge to the reader in these critical times. —- ISBN: 9781763715639 | ISBN10: 1763715639 | ISBN-13: 978-1763715639
