Spirituality, they argue, is a necessary component of an alternative political agenda focused on equitable social and ecological change.The anthology incorporates different genres of writingsuch as poetry, testimonials, critical essays, and historical analysisand stimulates the reader to engage spirituality in a critical, personal, and creative way. This interdisciplinary work is the first that attempts to theorize the radical interconnection between women of color, spirituality, and social activism. Before transformative political work can be done, the authors say in multiple ways, we must recognize that our spiritual need is a desire to more fully understand our relations with others. Conflict experienced on many levels sometimes severs those relations, separating us from others along racial, class, gender, sexual, national, or other socially constructed lines.Fleshing the Spirit offers a spiritual journey of healing, health, and human revolution.
