520    $a "Lifting as They Climb is a love letter of freedom and self-expression from six Black women Buddhist teachers, conveyed through the voice of one of the many women who has benefited from their wisdom. Toni Pressley-Sanon offers rich opening and closing chapters about the emergence of Black Buddhism as part of a long history of Black liberation in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. The heart of the book is six chapters that profile the life stories of the teachers, with a particular focus on the themes that emerge from their autobiographical writings. Interweaving scholarly research with personal reflection as well as input from most of the teachers profiled, Pressley-Sanon's book embodies the growing sense of fruitful encounter between Buddhism, feminism or womanism, and Black liberation"-- $c Provided by publisher.
