- Summary:
- "Maparyan organizes the contributions around five key ideas. The first section looks at womanist self-care as a life-saving strategy. The second examines healing the Earth as a prerequisite to healing ourselves. In Part Three, the essays illuminate how womanism's politics of invitation provides a strategy for enlarging humanity's circle of inclusion, while Part Four considers womanism as both a challenge and antidote to dehumanization. The final section delves into womanism's potential for constructing worlds and futures. In addition, Maparyan includes a section of works by womanist visual artists. Defiant and far-sighted, Womanism Rising takes readers on a journey into a new generation of concepts, ideas, and strategies for womanism studies"-- Provided by publisher.
