Racial trauma caused by generations of dehumanization, subjugation and present-day discrimination has profound and lasting effects on Black people’s spiritual, emotional, mental, psychological and physical well-being, writes Ingrid Waldron.
Waldron’s new book combines her findings on contemporary mental health concerns in Black communities with a historical analysis of colonialism and ongoing racial trauma.
Ingrid Waldron, HOPE Chair in Peace and Health, will work with partners in Nova Scotia to build climate resilience and community engagement in 25 African Nova Scotian communities.
