Synopsis

In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together.

Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors. She explores four "realms of resistance"—the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral—and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. Listeners will be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.

Goodreads review by Rachel on August 10, 2023

As a woman of Native descent, there were some really sacred whisperings in this book that I deeply needed to hear. Resistance isn’t all fire and rage and fight. The way forward can be gentle, generous, and generative. And that is especially relevant as it relates to the personal experiences of many......more

This should be required reading for everyone! This is just what I needed and is for you if you’re looking to further work on your relationship to yourself, each other, non human kin and the land.

Goodreads review by Angie on March 01, 2023

I LOVED this book! What I love about this book is that if it were hands it would be palms open, fingers out saying "take me as you will, I am here for your service". Kaitlne Curtice writes so openly and vulnerably and then invites us to write like that with our lives. What I feel like doing with thi......more

Goodreads review by Lily on May 30, 2023

I don't think I'm the audience for this, I think it might be more for people alienated from Christianity or grappling with it. For me, this book was filled with quotes from really great books and ideas from amazing traditions, but I didn't find anything new here or really any wisdom of any sort. It'......more
