      Clinical Interventions for Internalized Oppression

      by Jan E. Estrellado, Lou S. Felipe, and Jeannie E. Celestial

      Recognizing that many marginalized communities experience the damaging mental health impacts of oppression and discrimination, Clinical Interventions for Internalized Oppression offers practitioners with theoretical frameworks, treatment recommendations, and practice guidelines for addressing bias in their own work, as well as specific interventions for treating the deleterious impacts of inequity.The book introduces readers to conceptual frameworks for internalized oppression and the interactive nature of systems of privilege, power, and oppression within individual and collective experiences. Later chapters identify where different facets of internalized oppression may present themselves in broad clinical domains. Readers explore the ways in which internalized negative beliefs emerge from historic oppression and how they present and manifest.Throughout, queer and/or Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) practitioner spotlights, clinical vignettes, somatic reflections, self-reflection, and discussion questions deepen readers’ learning experiences and promote real-world application.Clinical Interventions for Internalized Oppression is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity.

      A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy

      by Christopher Marmolejo

      Red Tarot speaks to anyone othered for their identity or ways of being or thinking—LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC folks in particular—presenting the tarot as a radical epistemology that shifts the authority of knowing into the hands of the people themselves.Author Christopher Marmolejo frames literacy as key to liberation, and explores an understanding of tarot as critical literacy. They show how the cards can be read to subvert the dynamics of white supremacist-capitalist-imperialist-patriarchy, weaving historical context and spiritual practice into a comprehensive overview of tarot.Situating tarot imagery within cosmologies outside the Hellenistic frame—Death as interpreted through the lens of Hindu goddess Chhinnamasta, the High Priestess through Aztec goddess Coyolxauhqui—Marmolejo’s Red Tarot is a profound act of native reclamation and liberation. Each card’s interpretation is further bolstered by the teachings of Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Paulo Freire, José Esteban Muñoz, and others, in an offering that integrates intersectional wisdom with the author’s divination practice—and reveals tarot as an essential language for liberation.

      Sunday Dinner

      by Angela Shanté, Seth Rogers, Montaysia Yuneek Sims

      Sunday Dinners are for family, food, and fun! SUNDAY DINNER is a family story that celebrates the tradition of Sunday Dinners as seen through the imaginative eyes of the smallest member of the family, Brandon. On Sundays there’s sure to be a story to tell. You never know who might pop in or what surprises (or tasty dishes) they might bring. The guests and the food make it Brandon’s favorite day, so when he’s assigned a huge project on family traditions, he knows exactly what to showcase. Award winning author Angela Shanté teams up with her husband Seth Rogers to bring this delightful story to life. “Sundays are for family, food, and fun,” Angela Shanté says. “It’s about sharing. Taking time to slow down and share a moment. This year should have taught us all how precious family time is.” Co-author Seth Rogers adds- “So many of our memories growing up are related to food. We wanted to make a book that shows children that the things we do today are the memories that we build traditions on in the future.” Angela and Seth are joined on the project by arts activist Montaysia Yuneek Sims, whose whimsical art brings the story to life.

      IN EVERY MIRROR SHE'S BLACK

      by Lola Akinmade Akerstrom

      An arresting debut for anyone looking for insight into what it means to be a Black woman in the world. Three Black women are linked in unexpected ways to the same influential white man in Stockholm as they build their new lives in the most open society run by the most private people. Successful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi is lured from the U.S. to Sweden by Jonny von Lundin, CEO of the nation's largest marketing firm, to help fix a PR fiasco involving a racially tone-deaf campaign. A killer at work but a failure in love, Kemi's move is a last-ditch effort to reclaim her social life. A chance meeting with Jonny in business class en route to the U.S. propels former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae Johnson into a life of wealth, luxury, and privilege—a life she's not sure she wants—as the object of his unhealthy obsession. And refugee Muna Saheed, who lost her entire family, finds a job cleaning Jonny's office as she works to establish her residency in Sweden and, more importantly, seeks connection and a place she can call home. Told through the perspectives of each of the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a fast-paced, richly nuanced yet accessible contemporary novel that touches on important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society.
