Mind Cure: How Meditation Became Medicine by Wakoh Shannon Hickey
Requirements: .PDF reader, 14 MB
Overview: Mindfulness and yoga are widely said to improve mental and physical health, and booming industries have emerged to teach them as secular techniques. This movement is typically traced to the 1970s, but it actually began a century earlier. Wakoh Shannon Hickey shows that most of those who first
advocated meditation for healing were women: leaders of the “Mind Cure” movement, which emerged during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Instructed by Buddhist and Hindu missionaries, many of these women believed that by transforming consciousness, they could also transform
oppressive conditions in which they lived. For women – and many African-American men – “Mind Cure” meant not just happiness, but liberation in concrete political, economic, and legal terms.
