'The body is not an apology' is the mantra we should all embrace.\u003cbr\u003e--Kimberl  Crenshaw, legal scholar and founder and Executive Director, African American Policy Forum\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHumans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Body Is Not an Apology \u003c\/i\u003eoffers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale, we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world--for us all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second edition includes stories from Taylor's travels around the world combating body terrorism and shines a light on the path toward liberation guided by love. In a brand new final chapter, she offers specific tools, actions, and resources for confronting racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia. And she provides a case study showing how radical self-love not only dismantles shame and self-loathing in us but has the power to dismantle entire systems of injustice. Together with the accompanying workbook, \u003ci\u003eYour Body Is Not an Apology\u003c\/i\u003e, Taylor brings the practice of radical self-love to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berrett-Koehler Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781523090990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Sonya Renee Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38213905875125,"sku":"9781523090990","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_13eeb032-c3a6-41d6-9014-79bc13f6db3f.jpg?v=1610443338","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-body-is-not-an-apology-second-edition-the-power-of-radical-self-love-9781523090990","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
