Healing Love Poems for White Supremacy Culture is a book of poems and other works about healing from the pain of living in a culture of white supremacy through the greatest power in the universe-love. The love poems and other writings are interwoven with the lessons of spirituality, nature, Native Wisdom, gratitude, healing theory, and strategies-all through a white male lens.
The disease of racism (at least in the U.S.) is caused by dwelling in a culture of white supremacy. Understanding white supremacy cultural values helps us to see how it has hurt our common humanity, and provides a foundation for sustainable racial justice healing and change for us all.
