Consciousness In Action

Consciousness-in-Action describes an approach to personal and social change in the context of oppression-society's major hindrance to well-being and development. Drawing from psychology, sociology, social and integral theories, and over thirty years of contemplative practice and community work, this book proposes an integral framework for human well-being and development, a psychosocial analysis of the impact of identity-based power, and a libratory-transformative praxis for transcending internalized superiority and inferiority rooted in racism, sexism, Eurocentrism, classism, and other forms of institutional oppression. Consciousness-in-Action is required reading in academic programs in psychology, counseling, social work, and social justice education in the US and Latin America. Also used by political and spiritual activists, community organizers, anti-oppression trainers, integral practitioners and helping professionals, this work has been presented to audiences internationally.
