This volume is a stunning antidote for the current moment-an edited volume of radical social theory, participatory methods, and critical practice rooted in the courageous history of liberation theory: a decolonizing of psychology and ethical re-imagination of psychotherapy. This book is a reparation gift to those that psychology has harmed and a resource for those of us who believe that social justice and psychology must embrace. Lillian Comas-D amp iacute az and Edil Torres Rivera are treasures to psychology. This volume will radicalize graduate and undergraduate education in precisely the ways we need. Thank you, Lillian and Edil! - Michelle Fine, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Critical Psychology, The Graduate Center, City University of New York The coeditors are liberation psychology scholar amp ndash practitioners, continuously broadening multicultural perspectives about systems, individuals, and communities. This book is a testament to the centrality of liberation psychology and social justice consciousness in all of psychology. - Patricia Arredondo, EdD, NCC, President, Arredondo Advisory Group, Phoenix, AZ Liberation Psychology: Theory, Method, Practice, and Social Justice will make you pause, reflect, and envision a psychology that views the experience of the oppressed through the eyes of their ancestors instead of the prism of their colonizers. This impressive volume is grounded in science, practice, and the power of activism. Truly a timely, comprehensive, and indispensable resource for professionals and students in and outside of psychology. - Hector Y. Adames, PsyD, Associate Professor, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Chicago, IL; Co-Director, IC-RACE (Immigration, Critical Race, And Cultural Equity) Lab This exciting book weaves together a compelling set of critical, decolonial perspectives that represent a major intervention in psychology while also having important implications for other fields. Social scientists and their students interested in theory, method, and practice for promoting community engagement, healing social suffering, and inspiring intersectional action for social justice should definitely read this book. - Faye V. Harrison, Professor of African American Studies & Anthropology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Editor of Decolonizing Anthropology: Moving Further Toward an Anthropology for Liberation and author of Outsider Within: Reworking Anthropology for the Global Age
