人類是一個多樣且分歧的群體，擁有各式各樣的信念、道德與身體。壓迫系統正因我們無法接受差異而滋生，並損害我們與自身身體的關係。
《身體不是道歉》提供激進的自我愛作為治癒這些暴力系統所造成創傷的良藥。世界知名的活動家與詩人 Sonya Renee Taylor 邀請我們重新連結心靈與身體的激進本源，並慶祝我們集體且持久的力量。當我們覺醒於自身被灌輸的身體羞恥時，我們會受到啟發去喚醒他人，並打斷持續延續身體羞恥與對所有身體的壓迫的系統。當我們以此真理在全球層面行動時，我們將迎來激進自我愛的轉化機會，這是為我們所有人創造更公正、平等、富有同理心的世界的機會。
I expected another fluffy self-help read, but this one actually digs into how oppression messes with the way we see our own bodies. The writing about making peace with difference hit me harder than I thought it would, and I've already lent it to two friends.
The chapter on making peace with difference hit me harder than I expected, and I kept underlining lines about how oppression feeds on our discomfort with other bodies. It's the kind of book you read slowly because every section gives you something to sit with.
I've read a lot of self-help but this one actually digs into the systemic side of why we hate our bodies. The chapter on how oppressive systems profit from our self-judgment really reframed my thinking. Powerful and affirming.
