520    "This book offers a unique, interdisciplinary, and 
       thoughtful look at the challenges and potency of Black 
       women's struggle for inner peace and mental stability. It 
       brings together contributors from psychology, sociology, 
       law, and medicine, as well as the humanities, to discuss 
       issues ranging from stress, sexual assault, healing, self-
       care, and contemplative practice to health-policy 
       considerations and parenting. Merging theory and practice 
       with personal narratives and public policy, the book 
       develops a new framework for approaching Black women's 
       wellness in order to provide tangible solutions. The 
       collection reflects feminist praxis and defines womanist 
       peace in terms that reject both "superwoman" stereotypes 
       and "victim" caricatures. Also included for health 
       professionals are concrete recommendations for 
       understanding and treating Black women"|c--Publisher's
