4.9/5 (20342 ratings)

Description:For many, spiritual and racial justice principles go hand in hand. Yet, although seemingly compatible, tensions often arise when people try to live out their associated values and strategies. Further, there are those who sit solidly on one side of either spirituality or advocacy and fail to see the connection between the two. Spiritually-oriented people often People focused on politics and social justice activism are angry, wounded, unhealthy individuals who sabotage their own efforts by using antagonistic and divisive language, including terms like oppression, privilege, and supremacy. On the other hand, racial justice advocates often People focused on their spirituality as part of their personal growth are trying to escape into transcendence or a false "kumbaya" experience and deny their ongoing role in continuing personal and institutional racism, privilege, and the reinforcement of an unjust status quo that operates through interlocking systems of oppression. Why do these tensions matter? There is a vast potential of untapped transformative power waiting to be released if activists and spiritual people of various racial backgrounds build and strengthen bridges between their differing principles and expectations. How can this book help? Each chapter tackles one tension-filled theme and What happens if one side of the tension is ignored? How can a both/and approach allow spirituality and racial justice efforts to support one another? Chapter 1: Transcendence and Race Consciousness Chapter 2: Self-Acceptance and Self-Improvement Chapter 3: Personal Healing and Political Action Chapter 4: Common Humanity and Group Differences Chapter 5: Belonging and Appropriation Chapter 6: Inner Truth and Accountability Living in the Tension brings a broad perspective and a "both/and" awareness to spiritual and racial justice concerns, two areas that matter greatly in contemporary life.
