Summary

"Raj Patel, the New York Times bestselling author of The Value of Nothing, teams up with physician, activist, and co-founder of the Do No Harm Coalition Rupa Marya to reveal the links between health and structural injustices--and to offer a new deep medicine that can heal our bodies and our world"--, Provided by publisherMarya and Patel take readers on a medical tour through the human body: our digestive, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. They illuminate the hidden relationships between our biological systems and the profound injustices of our political and economic systems, and how they are connected to the number of traumatic events we experienced as children and to the traumas endured by our ancestors. The authors show that decolonizing heals what has been divided, reestablishing our relationships with the Earth and one another. This would have the potential to heal not only our bodies, but the world. -- adapted from jacket
