ATNSC Reads.
ATNSC's recommended book for the year is "Remnants: A Memoir of Spirit, Activism, and Mothering" by Rosemarie Freeney Harding (with Rachel Elizabeth Harding). We believe it's timely and necessary for our work in the world right now.
From Duke University Press: An activist influential in the civil rights movement, Rosemarie Freeney Harding’s spirituality blended many traditions, including southern African American mysticism, Anabaptist Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism, and Afro-Brazilian Candomblé. Remnants, a multigenre memoir, demonstrates how Freeney Harding's spiritual life and social justice activism were integral to the instincts of mothering, healing, and community-building. Following Freeney Harding’s death in 2004, her daughter Rachel finished this decade-long collaboration, using recorded interviews, memories of her mother, and her mother's journal entries, fiction, and previously published essays.

Rachel Elizabeth Harding, daughter of Rosemarie Freeney Harding and Vincent Harding, is Assistant Professor of Indigenous Spiritual Traditions in the Ethnic Studies Department at the University of Colorado, Denver, and author of A Refuge in Thunder: Candomblé and Alternative Spaces of Blackness. Currently, we are engaged in a community reading group and were able to provide the book at no cost to our group participants through a generous gift from Neighborhood Connections. |
