Object Relations, Buddhism, and Relationality in Womanist Practical Theology (Black Religion/Womanist Thought/Social Justice)

This book is a groundbreaking exploration of how Buddhism in the Insight Meditation tradition supports "remarkable relational resilience" for women of African descent and same-sex loving experiences, despite societal invalidation.

Pamela Ayo Yetunde delves into the psycho-sexual experiences of African-American Buddhist lesbians, revealing how their Buddhist practices and communities empower them to navigate invisibilizing forces of racial, gender, sexuality, and religious discrimination and oppression.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and spirituality, and how Buddhism can offer a powerful tool for healing and resilience.
