Liberated to the Bone addresses the intersections between healing our physical bodies and healing our social relations, which are shaped by violence. For Susan Raffo, this violence is rooted in the two original wounds: Indigenous disappearance and anti-Black racism. Discussions around the land, intergenerational trauma, social justice, and organizing are all relevant to our bodies. By showing how these approaches are intricately connected--physically and emotionally--Raffo interrupts the traumatic binaries of the political and spiritual, the physical and intellectual, and healing and organizing. --from page [4] of cover.
