This preparation focuses not on strategy or politics, but on practices that can help us

  • Build presence and discernment in our bodies
  • Settle our bodies during the heat of conflict
  • Maintain our safety, sanity, and stability in dangerous situations
  • Heal our personal and collective racialized trauma
  • Practice embodied social action
  • Turn toward instead of on one another
  • TheQuaking of America is a unique and perfectly timed guide to help us navigate our widespread upheaval and build an antiracist culture.

    Praise for The Quaking of America

    Resmaa Menakems The Quaking of America is a brilliant and effective guide to embodied social change. All of us need to read this bookand then act on it.

    Angela Rye, NPR political analyst and former CNN commentator

    Wow. Just wow. Prepare to see what is coming. Prepare to feel the urgency. Prepare to be changed. This is a book that will wake you up, excite, and terrify you. But Resmaa wont leave you there; all along the way he gives you the practices to do the work of healing into action. And he delivers all of this in riveting prose. Resmaa Menakem is a visionary, and his work is absolutely essential for antiracist practice. We need this book in as many hands as possible.

    Robin DiAngelo, PhD,New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility and Nice Racism

    Resmaa Menakem is one of our countrys most gifted racial healers. His brilliant new book could not be more timelya volume our country, our bodies, and our humanity desperately need. The Quaking of America offers wisdom and liberation, not only for Black, Brown, or Indigenous folk, but for all Americans.

    Michael Eric Dyson, bestselling author of Entertaining Race and Long Time Coming

    As author Resmaa Menakem makes plain, theres nothing in our society that makes expanding progress and social inclusion inevitable. These things happen because wise, brave, and committed people make them happen. But they also happen because spiritually well people make them happenpeople who understand the importance of self-care for the struggles ahead. The Quaking of America is more than an insightful book about the challenged state of American multiracial democracy. It is a users guide, an instruction manual on how to transform your body, yourself, and this country into their highest and noblest aspirations.

    Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota

    A storm is coming. But this is not a scare-mongering book intended to threaten your nervous system. Its just the opposite. This book is not just for Black, Indigenous, and white Jewish or Muslim bodies of culture who might be deemed the enemy in such a culture war. Regardless of the pigment of your skin, if you want to prepare your body to take ethical, spiritual action should you be forced to risk your life in order to choose sides, this is your book. Filled with somatic trauma-healing practices intended to build bodily resilience so your actions can live up to your antiracist intentions, this book could save your life, help you save other lives, or even prepare you to prevent a civil war or survive one. If youre an American and you believe in democracy and equal human rights for all beings, Im not exaggerating when I say this might be the most important book you read this century.

    Lissa Rankin, MD,New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine and Sacred Medicine

    Resmaa teaches us a new understanding and vantage point of our physical and personal relationship with people different from ourselves. He brings revolutionary insights to the value of connecting with depths of information our bodies hold onto, acquired through lifes experiences. He leads us to crucial and deeper connections with our inner truths and provides us with a pathway to building more meaningful relationships and empathy for all people.

    Pete Carroll, Head Coach and Executive Vice President of the NFLs Seattle Seahawks

    The Quaking of America is a profoundly needed bridge over todays troubled waters. Resmaa teaches us how to be present and embodied, even in conflict. This book should be in all our hands. For all our sakes, please read this book and share it with a friend.

    Peter A. Levine, PhD, author of Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma, and In an Unspoken Voice

    One two three BOOM! Precisely how Ive experienced Resmaas work in my life, our company, and in the world. He is a critical voice in reclaiming our bodies and thus our freedom.

    Audrey Cavenecia, Chief Content Officer and award-winning producer at Amplify Voices (a Pete Carroll Company)

    There really are no words that can adequately describe the pouring of incisive foresight and actionable content into a book as Resmaa Menakem has done. We would be remiss not to grasp The Quaking of America as a critical operations manual for the salvaging of this utterly imperfect democracy.
