Varieties of Ways for attaining Health and Healing,
By
This review is from: Faith, Health, and Healing in African American Life (Religion, Health, and Healing) (Hardcover)
Stephanie Mitchem and Emilie Townes have done those of us interested in the relationship between faith, health, and healing a great service. The essays in their recently published book described a variety of ways members and institutions of the African American community are pursuing health and healing. Ranging from the practices of our ancestors, the role of the environment, to specific rituals and practices, healing activity in the lives of African American women, and the connections between black gay men and healing within the African American church, this book will set in motion community activity around issues of health and healing. During this year where political activity includes health care, this book is a must read about what politicans and religious people may want to discuss as they determine policy. A strength of the book is it interdisciplinary nature making it a must read for a wide variety of audiences interested in health and healing in the African American community. I strongly recommend the book.
