Synopsis
Examines how Black women elders have managed stress, emphasizing how self-care practices have been present since at least the mid-nineteenth century, with roots in African traditions. How have Black women elders managed stress? In Black Women's Yoga History , Stephanie Y. Evans uses primary sources to answer that question and to show how meditation and yoga from eras of enslavement, segregation, and migration to the Civil Rights, Black Power, and New Age movements have been in existence all along. Life writings by Harriet Jacobs, Sadie and Bessie Delany, Eartha Kitt, Rosa Parks, Jan Willis, and Tina Turner are only a few examples of personal case studies that are included here, illustrating how these women managed traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. In more than fifty yoga memoirs, Black women discuss practices of reflection, exercise, movement, stretching, visualization, and chanting for self-care. By unveiling the depth of a struggle for wellness, memoirs offer lessons for those who also struggle to heal from personal, cultural, and structural violence. This intellectual history expands conceptions of yoga and defines inner peace as mental health, healing, and wellness that is both compassionate and political., Examines how Black women elders have managed stress, emphasizing how self-care practices have been present since at least the mid-nineteenth century, with roots in African traditions.

- 3***o (410)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGreat book, good price, very well packaged and fast dispatch, arrived in condition exactly as pictured/described - great seller, very professional.
- w***g (218)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter Kaufno issues here!. item described correctly, communication between myself and the seller was great, they responded to all my questions. Customer service was outstanding
- n***a (10)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufPaddles are good but the seller is not qualified to sell anything! he had offered me a discount on the paddles and also stated free shipping. So, I believe that when he found out that he had to ship them FREE to Hawaii, he did not want to follow through on his initial promise of free shipping possibly due to the fact that he would have to pay more to ship to hawaii. This seller has issues !
