Book Talk with Alyson K. Sprugas and Zoë Meleo-Erwin: Decolonize Self-Care:

    In Decolonize Self-Care, Alyson K. Sprugas (Trinity College) and Zoë Meleo-Erwin deliver a comprehensive sociological analysis and scathing critique of the term’s capitalist, racist undertones. Decolonizing self-care, they argue, requires a full reckoning with the exclusionary, appropriative nature of most of the wellness industry, but this education is only the first step in the process. We must commit to new models of care and well-being that allow for health, pleasure, and community-for everyone.
