THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Insightful thought-provoking and profound. I can't recommend
highly enough' Sunny Singh 'A revolutionary work of beauty brilliance compassion and
ultimately hope' Robin DiAngelo The consequences of racism can be found in our bodies - in
skin and sinew in bone and blood. In this ground-breaking inspiring work therapist Resmaa
Menakem examines the damage the physical consequences of discrimination from the perspective
of body-centred psychology. He argues that until we learn to heal and overcome the generational
anguish of white supremacy we will all continue to bear its scars. My Grandmother's Hands is
an extraordinary call to action for all of us to recognize that racism affects not only the
mind but also the body and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond
our racial divides.
