Description

In this revised and expanded edition of Medicine Stories, Aurora Levins Morales weaves together insights and lessons learned over a lifetime of activism to offer a new theory of social justice. Calling for a politics of integrity that recognizes the complicated wholeness of individual and collective lives, Levins Morales delves among the interwoven roots of multiple oppressions, exposing connections, crafting strategies, and uncovering the wellsprings of resilience and joy. Throughout these twenty-eight essays-twenty-one of which are new or extensively revised-she exposes the structures and mechanisms that silence voices and divide movements. The result is a medicine bag full of techniques and perspectives to build a universal solidarity that is flexible, nuanced, and strong enough to fundamentally shift our world toward justice. Intimately personal and globally relevant, Medicine Stories brings clarity and hope to tangled, emotionally charged social issues in beautiful and accessible language.

Media Reviews

"Morales’s book is an excellent tool for understanding some of the dynamics of social justice movements and should be part of activists’ survival kits against despair." - Nylca J. Muñoz Sosa (Monthly Review) “Perhaps the most directly significant contribution of Medicine Stories...is Levins Morales’s framing of oppression as the most widespread and systematically reproduced source of trauma.... Medicine Stories maps the intimate and collective pathways of survival that communities and individuals find in the face of violence and injustice....” - Corinne Lajoie (Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies)
