Book Description

This book is an edited drove of essays by xiv multicultural women (including a few Anglo women) who are doing work that crosses the boundaries of ecological and social healing. The women are prominent academics, writers and leaders spanning Native American, Indigenous, Asian, African, Latina, Jewish and Multiracial backgrounds. The contributors express a myriad of ways that the relationship between the ecological and social have brought new understanding to their experiences and work in the world.  Moreover by working with these edges of awareness, they are identifying new forms of pedagogy, leading, healing and positive change.

Ecological and Social Healing is rooted in these ideas and speaks to an "edge awareness or consciousness." In essence this speaks to the power of integrating multiple and frequently conflicting views and the transformations that result.　 As women working beyond the boundaries of the ecological and social, we have powerful experiences that are creating new forms of healing.

This book is rooted in bookish theory as well as personal and professional experience, and highlights emerging models and insights. It will appeal to those working, teaching and learning in the fields of social justice, environmental problems, women's studies, spirituality, transformative/ecology/sustainability leadership, and interdisciplinary/intersectionality studies.

It asks us all to reconnect areas of life that take been falsely divided to (re)discover the wisdom necessary to testify to the hurting of the societal disconnect that has led to the degradation of our commonage habitat. Merely from that place of honoring tin can truthful healing begin. It is more than just reclaiming the feminine and the indigenous. Information technology is reclaiming the whole. -- Rev. affections Kyodo williams, Sensei
