ABOUT THE BOOK: “A unique and excellent foundation for clinicians, especially those of the African diaspora, to see into their own psychological wounding as well as those of their patients and clients … should be required reading for every clinician seeking to better understand Black psychology and African diaspora intergenerational trauma." - Fanny Brewster, Ph.D., MFA, author of The Racial Complex. “A powerful reminder of the deep and prolonged impact of racial oppression on black communities … written with clarity and passion, this book will be invaluable for all those dedicated to racial justice.” - Professor Stephen Frosh, Birkbeck, University of London. The Burden of Heritage is a timely addition to the literature on inter- and transgenerational trauma. The book addresses black ancestral trauma passed down the generations, highlighting the ongoing impact on black lives. Aileen Alleyne explores the unheeded dimensions of individual and collective identity trauma, paying particular attention to the themes and concepts of identity shame, black identity wounding and cultural enmeshment. The book offers effective tools to practitioners who work therapeutically with black and minority ethnic clients, and highlights ways to strengthen critical enquiry for deeper conceptual and theoretical understanding of generational trauma.
