Wounds of the Spirit by Traci C. West
Black Women, Violence and Resistance Ethics
Using first-person accounts, from slave narratives to contemporary interviews and Tina Turner's autobiography, this book describes a historical legacy of violence against black women in the United States. The author places spiritual matters within a discussion of the psycho-social impact of assault, and seeks to identify specific social mechanisms which contribute to the reproduction of intimate violence. She argues that cultural beliefs as well as institutional practices must be altered, and suggests methods of resistance which can be used by victim-survivors, professional helpers and the Church. |
