Living Toward Justice

A Time Capsule

Beschreibung

An illustrated exploration of how practitioners and scholars in the field of embodied social justice (ESJ) seek to incorporate justice in everyday life The book documents three collective time capsules from 2020 to 2022, during which fifty-two collaborators in the Living Justice Project responded to a series of prompts and activities to express "What does it look, feel, and sound like to live (towards) justice in your life?" Through photographs, video and audio recordings, and text-based reflections, they offer readers a vivid and immersive experience of embodying justice during a unique moment in history. Led primarily by Black and and/or queer practitioner-scholars, the diverse ESJ community engages in a vibrant dialogue of the ways in which practices such as yoga, ecstatic dance, somatic psychotherapy, meditation, martial arts, and more are often characterized by cultural appropriation, lack of diversity, and lack of social analysis. Prominent collaborators of this ethnographic study and the book include Reverend angel Kyodo williams, adrienne maree brown, Patrisse Cullors, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Staci Haines, Sará King, Rae Johnson, Resmaa Menakem, Zea Leguizamon, Samuel Leguizamon Grant, and Nkem Ndefo, to name a few.
