Wounds of the Spirit: Black Women, Violence and Resistance Ethics
by Traci C. WestIn Wounds of the Spirit, Traci West employs first person accounts-from slave narratives to contemporary interviews to Tina Turner's autobiography-to document a historical legacy of violence against black women in the United States. West, a black feminist Christian ethicist, situates spiritual matters within a discussion of the psycho-social impact of intimate assault against African American women. Distinctive for its treatment of the role of the church in response to violence against African American women, the book identifies specific social mechanisms which contribute to the reproduction of intimate violence. West insists that cultural beliefs as well as institutional practices must be altered if we are to combat the reproduction of violence, and suggests methods of resistance which can be utilized by victim-survivors, those in the helping professions, and the church. Interrogating the dynamics of black women's experiences of emotional and spiritual trauma through the diverse disciplines of psychology, sociology, and theology, this important work will be of interest and practical use to those in women's studies, African American studies, Christian ethics, feminist and womanist theology, women's health, family counseling, and pastoral care.
14 aprendizajes vitales
by Carlos Alemany BrizLa vida es un continuo -y realmente complejo- proceso de aprender y desaprender. Y también un cúmulo de ocasiones perdidas en las que decidimos no querer aprender ni tampoco desaprender.Gran parte de los aprendizajes los recibimos de una manera estructurada: en la familia, en el jardín de infancia o en el colegio, en el trabajo o en la universidad, nos enseñan -y aprendemos- muchas cosas. Todos estos aprendizajes, que podríamos llamar formales, representan la base primordial de nuestra educación.Sin embargo, el fluir vital y el desarrollo del ciclo personal está también lleno -y mucho- de aprendizajes que uno ha tenido que hacer sin que nadie se los enseñe de una manera formal. Algunos de estos aprendizajes son dolorosos, otros son gozosos y el profundizar en todos ellos y dar con la clave motivadora de ese aprender a aprender es de gran ayuda para la propia evolución personal.Este libro, escrito en colaboración por un conjunto de especialistas, de forma narrativa, pedagógica y serendípica, pretende favorecer esta reflexión y facilitar estos otros aprendizajes. Los temas los hemos elegido entre los que nos parecen más vitales y necesarios en la sociedad de hoy, sabiendo de antemano que la lista es más amplia que los aquí elegidos.Las excelentes ilustraciones de Ángel Rz. Idígoras, psicólogo, dibujante e ilustrador, contribuyen a dar el tono de invitación gozosamente humana a leer y a poner en práctica estos nuevos aprendizajes vitales. Ojalá que cada uno encuentre en estos capítulos -leídos serendípicamente en su mecedora o en su rincón favorito y practicados los ejercicios que se sugieren- las pistas, las preguntas, las respuestas o el tema que se ajuste más y mejor a su propio momento vital.
