Reaching Black Males Through Spirituality
Sometimes being an African American in this society seems to feel more exclusionary than inclusive - as if we somehow have to prove how we 'fit in' to the great scheme of things. Well, no more. Baba Koleoso Karade, aka Nashid Fakhrid-Deen, JD, has undertaken the task of presenting us with a manual, a guide if you will, that can be used by groups across the Diaspora to assist their young men in recognizing and understanding what kinds of beings they truly are through a rites-of-passage program. Reaching Black Males Through Spirituality is a guide that not only advocates a way to overcome the danger and destructiveness in our society, but also connects our life in America with the holistic wisdom of our ancestors. Reaching Black Males Through Spirituality is a real and practical textbook that teaches our black males how to become MEN in America using the foundation of African principles. Koleoso tackles issues from teenage sex to racism and the problem of street violence in our community, offering healing guidance on the central problems facing the African American Community.
Tradition and Transformation
The Ifa religion provided healing and foundation during enslavement. It served as a constant reminder of who we are an just how important it is for us to relate to the forces of life and identify with it through our own likeness. During the time when we were being stripped of our self worth, it was our tradition that prevented us from committing total self-annihilation. The worship of Orisha healed our spiritual constitution and gave us some semblance of the reality that it is important for the deities of a people to look like and reflect the self-image of those people. The wisdom of Ifa, as expressed through the Sacred Odu, challenged us to remain true to our moral and righteous construct even in the face of immorality and degradation. In essence, the religious and philosophical basis for our African existence revolved, and continues to revolve around the tenets and fundamental concepts of the Yoruba religious practice. Ifa was the major ingredient in the healing process of the enslaved African; and now it must be made available for the disillusioned African as well.
Dub
The concluding volume in a poetic trilogy, Alexis Pauline Gumbs's Dub: Finding Ceremony takes inspiration from theorist Sylvia Wynter, dub poetry, and ocean life to offer a catalog of possible methods for remembering, healing, listening, and living otherwise. In these prose poems, Gumbs channels the voices of her ancestors, including whales, coral, and oceanic bacteria, to tell stories of diaspora, indigeneity, migration, blackness, genius, mothering, grief, and harm. Tracing the origins of colonialism, genocide, and slavery as they converge in Black feminist practice, Gumbs explores the potential for the poetic and narrative undoing of the knowledge that underpins the concept of Western humanity. Throughout, she reminds us that dominant modes of being human and the oppression those modes create can be challenged, and that it is possible to make ourselves and our planet anew.
Untraditional Hsing-i
Deceptively simple, hsing-i is an internal martial art that is related to t'ai chi and pa-kua but maintains a stronger link to its martial background. It's been said that it is a link between the internal and external arts. Robb Whitewood, a former student of Erie Montaigue, is head instructor of hsing-i for Montaigue's renowned World Taiji Boxing Association. In this book, Whitewood brings the phenomenal speed and power of the ancient hitting art of hsing-i to life using teaching methods developed with the goals of Western students in mind. You will learn the basics of five-element boxing and then move straight to the understanding and application of movement.
Forgiveness
Too many of us feel trapped in stagnant romantic, family, or workplace relationships. Weighed down by toxic thoughts and emotions, we might be quick to judge and slow to pardon, and self-righteous about our feelings as we dwell on memories of what we or others did (or failed to do). In this tradepaper edition, Iyanla Vanzant challenges us to liberate ourselves from the wounds of the past and to embrace the new power of forgiveness. With Iyanla’s 21-Day Forgiveness Plan, you’ll explore relationship dynamics with your parents, children, friends, partners, co-workers, bosses, yourself, and even God. With journaling work and Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as "tapping"), you’ll le...
