It brings together contributors from psychology, sociology, law, and medicine, as well as the humanities, to discuss issues ranging from stress, sexual assault, healing, self-care, and contemplative practice to health-policy considerations and parenting. Merging theory and practice with personal narratives and public policy, the book develops a new framework for approaching Black women's wellness in order to provide tangible solutions. The collection reflects feminist praxis and defines womanist peace in terms that reject both \"superwoman\" stereotypes and \"victim\" caricatures. Also included for health professionals are concrete recommendations for understanding and treating Black women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"...this book speaks not only to Black women but also educates a broader audience of policymakers and therapists about the complex and multilayered realities that we must navigate and the protests we must mount on our journey to find inner peace and optimal health.\" - from the Foreword by Linda Goler Blount\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor access to an online resource created by the editors, visit: Black Women's Mental Health @ http: \/\/www.bwmentalhealth.net\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Y.
