Reviews"This is a book that will wake you up, excite, and terrify you. But Resmaa won't leave you there; all along the way he gives you the practices to do the work of healing into action. And he delivers all of this in riveting prose. Resmaa Menakem is a visionary, and his work is absolutely essential for antiracist practice. We need this book in as many hands as possible." --Robin DiAngelo, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility and Nice Racism "The Quaking of America is more than an insightful book about the challenged state of American multiracial democracy. It is a user's guide, an instruction manual on how to transform your body, yourself, and this country into their highest and noblest aspirations." --Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota "Filled with somatic trauma healing practices intended to build bodily resilience so your actions can live up to your antiracist intentions, this book could save your life, help you save other lives, or even prepare you to prevent a civil war or survive one." --Lissa Rankin, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine and Sacred Medicine "Resmaa teaches us a new understanding and vantage point of our physical and personal relationship with people different from ourselves. He brings revolutionary insights to the value of connecting with depths of information our bodies hold onto acquired through life's experiences. He leads us to crucial and deeper connections with our inner truths and provides us with a pathway to building more meaningful relationships and empathy for all people." --Pete Carroll, Head Coach and Executive Vice President of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks Praise for My Grandmother's Hands : "Resmaa Menakem's book, My Grandmother's Hands, and his original insights into racialized trauma in all kinds of bodies, has offered new ways forward for us all. He's become one of my most important teachers . . ." --Krista Tippett, host of On Being "Resmaa Menakem cuts to the heart of America's racial crisis with the precision of a surgeon in ways few have before. Addressing the intergenerational trauma of white supremacy and its effects on all of usunderstanding it as a true soul woundis the first order of business if we hope to pull out of the current morass. As this amazing work shows us, policies alone will not do it, and bold social action, though vital to achieving justice, will require those engaged in it to also take action on the injury, deep and personal, from which we all suffer." --Tim Wise, bestselling author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son and Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority, "This is a book that will wake you up, excite, and terrify you.
