Using an intersectional lens, the essays examine yoga in the United States as a complex cultural phenomenon that reveals racial, economic, gendered, and sexual politics of the body. From discussions of the stereotypical yoga body to analyses of pivotal court cases, Yoga, the Body, and Embodied Social Change examines the sociopolitical tensions of contemporary yoga. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause so many yogic spaces reflect the oppressive nature of many other public spheres, the essays in this collection also examine what needs to change in order for yoga to truly live up to its liberatory potential, from the blogosphere around Black women's health to the creation of queer and trans yoga classes to the healing potential of yoga for people living with chronic illness or trauma. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile many of these conversations are emerging in the broader public sphere, few have made their way into academic scholarship. This book changes all that. The essays in this anthology interrogate yoga as it is portrayed in the media, yoga spaces, and yoga as it is integrated in education, the law, and concepts of health to examine who is included and who is excluded from yoga in the West. The result is a thoughtful analysis of the possibilities and the limitations of yoga for feminist social transformation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeth Berila is professor of ethnic and women's studies at St. Cloud State University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMelanie Klein is an associate professor of sociology and women's studies at Santa Monica College. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChelsea Jackson Roberts is founder and director of yoga, literature, and art at Spelman College.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 356\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43428172398659,"sku":"9781498528047","price":98.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/yoga-the-body-and-embodied-social-change-an-intersectional-feminist-analysis-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
