En savoir plus sur le livre

Incarcerated individuals employ yoga and meditation as tools to combat the dehumanization of prison life and to confront issues of institutional racism and mass incarceration. Farah Godrej explores the dual nature of these practices, highlighting their potential to both reinforce and challenge systemic inequities. Through ethnography and political theory, the book redefines "resistance" by emphasizing the significance of personal belief and internal transformation as vital components of the struggle for liberation.
