For those whose homes and neighborhoods were bulldozed, the urban modernization projects that swept America starting in 1949 were nothing short of an assault. Vibrant city blocks?places rich in culture?were torn apart by freeways and other invasive development, devastating the lives of poor residents. Fullilove passionately describes the profound traumatic stress?the root shock?that results when a neighborhood is demolished. She estimates that federal and state urban renewal programs, spearheaded by business and real estate interests, destroyed 1,600 African American districts in cities across the United States. But urban renewal didn't just disrupt black communities: it ruined their economic health and social cohesion, stripping displaced residents of their sense of place as well. It also left big gashes in the centers of cities that are only now slowly being repaired. Focusing on the Hill District of Pittsburgh, the Central Ward in Newark, and the small Virginia city of Roanoke, Dr. Fullilove argues powerfully against policies of displacement. Understanding the damage caused by root shock is crucial to coping with its human toll and helping cities become whole. Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, is a research psychiatrist at New York State Psychiatric Institute and professor of clinical psychiatry and public health at Columbia University. She is the author of five books, including Urban Alchemy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49703762886929,"sku":"CIN1613320191G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49733195825425,"sku":"NGR9781613320198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50716288254225,"sku":"GOR012451329","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50897773691153,"sku":"CIN1613320191VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039143592209,"sku":"NIN9781613320198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479878005009,"sku":"NLS9781613320198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1613320191.jpg?v=1773919348"},{"product_id":"main-street-book-mindy-thompson-fullilove-9781613321263","title":"Main Street","description":"Mindy Thompson Fullilove traverses the central thoroughfares of our cities to uncover the ways they bring together our communities    After an 11-year study of Main Streets in 178 cities and 14 countries, Fullilove discovered the power of city centers to \"help us name and solve our problems.\" In an era of compounding crises including racial injustice, climate change, and COVID-19, the ability to rely on the power of community is more important than ever.

She lovingly recalls her parents: her father, a black leader of the labor movement, and her mother, a white woman whose boundless generosity was always in conflict with the racial divisions of the world around her. Place is a major actor in her family story, and in the course of bringing the backgrounds of six generations into the foreground, Fullilove uncovers the many lives--her own included--that are rooted in those places.

But in The Tao of K-Drama, Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, argues that they are something more consequential: a global site of collective meaning-making, where hundreds of millions of viewers encounter shared narratives of rupture, endurance, and repair. Far from mere entertainment, K-dramas offer a sophisticated vocabulary for living with--and through--trauma.  At the heart of The Tao of K-Drama is a bold claim: that K-dramas form a sophisticated literature of healing, born from a culture that has endured catastrophe and learned how to recover from it. These stories begin where many Western narratives hesitate--at the site of trauma itself--and linger there long enough to teach us how injury reshapes individuals, relationships, and communities. Drawing on seven K-dramas as case studies, Fullilove shows how the genre's distinctive narrative arc moves steadily toward restoration, guided by a deep belief in human change and collective possibility. Recovery, these dramas insist, is not only personal but also social--and it unfolds not only within individuals but across families, neighborhoods, and cities. Reading seven K-dramas in depth, Fullilove follows the movement from injury to restoration as it travels through intimate lives and shared social spaces, showing how recovery is imagined, practiced, and sustained across entire communities. Her readings move with ease between theory and scene, history and affect, illuminating how these dramas translate complex social knowledge into felt experience.  The inaugural volume in the Narrative Medicine series, The Tao of K-Drama is both scholarly and deeply personal. Drawing on Fullilove's work in community psychiatry and her lived experience as an African American woman, the book makes a compelling case for popular storytelling as a form of narrative medicine: a way of countering isolation, metabolizing trauma, and restoring social imagination. Inviting readers to watch differently--and to feel differently--The Tao of K-Drama reveals how stories can become shared tools for survival, connection, and healing in an increasingly fragmented world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53513260794129,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53513262203153,"sku":"NGR9780197846971","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780197846971.jpg?v=1780393635"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mindy-thompson-fullilove.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
