About the Book

My journey with Pan-African psychology began as a quest for wholeness in such fragmentation—both spiritually and as a researcher, to discover how history’s hurts brand themselves not only on bodies and soil but on minds and spirits. I surmised that freedom is not complete without revolution that comes from inside—a mending of the internalized wounds carried by individuals and communities. This book is the fruit of that belief: actual freedom cannot be divorced from psychological freedom, and ; that the recovery of one’s identity involves the recovery of one’s soul.
