Description
- This book is about the complex ways both harm and the social movements that seek to end it intertwine. The basic message is that those most marginalized and "damaged" in this society are also the most equipped to understand and navigate our often scary world. Three other messages: 1) there's power in solidarity, 2) diverse perspectives are needed to build a more just society, 3) that society is already under construction if we look closely, and 4) previously impoverished ways of knowing have value and perpetual professionalism should not be our aim. - From a different perspective, this book supports the Black Lives Matter movement, Disability Justice movement, Fat liberation, #metoo, etc. - The pieces all exhibit Kimberly's engaging style of using memoir and humor to unearth important sociological truths. - Early drafts of the title essay, "Damaged, Like Me" have sparked interest in mental health professionals who are very interested in discussing the question of how "survivors" of trauma can inform the field and work with clients from personal as well as professional perspectives. This view is only recently emerging in the field and has a number of proponents.
