The body is not an apology : the power of radical self-love
Taylor, Sonya Renee2018
Books
Systems of oppression thrive off of our inability to make peace with bodies and difference. When we develop the ability to honour difference and radically accept ourselves, we have the capacity and desire to apply those skills to the larger world. Radical self love not only dismantles shame and self loathing in us, but has the power to dismantle global systems of injustice, because when we make true peace with our bodies, only then do we have the capacity to truly make peace with the bodies of the others. The purpose of this book is to get us to stop treating our bodies like cars, to stop acting as if our minds are not part of our bodies.
