“…To be clear, in the face of insurmountable and enduring trauma, many Black women have relied on spirituality, hope, and faith (hooks, 2005) as mechanisms of healing. Indeed, there is much to learn about pain and suffering from the healing works of Black women as they model, with grace, a powerful sense of liberatory healing for self and others (Cespedes et al, 2017). Perhaps, hooks (2005) said it best when she emphatically proclaimed that to be whole, "Black women [and all minoritized people] deserve to have multiple paths to healing, multiple ways of thinking about spirituality, multiple paths towards recovery.…”

In this article, we argue that healing from trauma in a racialized context requires an act of collective, critical resistance whereby educators and researchers reject a White-dominant colonial perspective of trauma on the grounds that it is pathologizing in several ways. We introduce a holistic trauma framework for understanding and responding to trauma within a racialized context. First, our framework seeks to draw on multiple forms of knowledge and experience to gain a deeper sense of trauma, suffering, and healing. Second, it uses an organic approach to promote relationships and support healing. Third, our framework explores multiple timepoints by introducing proactive, interactive, and reactive approaches for addressing trauma more comprehensively. We hope our framework will enhance the field of trauma research, which is, at present, overpopulated by White-dominant, colonial perspectives that mask systemic racial inequities.

“…Across these differing yet interconnected movements, we can trace the influence of earlier moments of anti-racist thought and practice. At times, this can be an attempt to correct the perceived weaknesses of mobilisations that failed to make space for the complexity of intersectional identities (Cespedes, Evans, and Monteiro 2017). At others, it can be a folding of anti-racist ways of understanding into other battles, a version of the productive interchange and mutuality across movements described by Dixon (2014).…”

This piece reconsiders histories of anti-racist thought and practice, including the linkages between anti-racisms and other traditions of liberatory thought. We argue that anti-racism should be understood as a strand in radical thought linking internationalism, institutional critique and street activism, in the process interfeeding with other social movements. The traditions of anti-racist thought discussed in this special issue exemplify these cross-cutting influences.
