Broken Branches

A philosophical introduction to the social reproductions of oppression from an intersectional feminist perspective

By: Latashia Nicole Harris

Broken Branches' places a critical lens on the infrastructure, institutions, social processes and practices that govern our society. The text examines the ways that neoliberalism influences society and our lives across generations. The practice of colonialism is deconstructed, showing how this practice has been renamed, but holds steadfast to its original intention of cultivating institutionalized oppression that feeds social perception. The author exposes the ways that social perceptions, juxtaposed semantics, commonly accepted definitions, practices, rhetoric and propaganda create products of maintained systemic injustice when resistance is absent and desensitization is prevalent. Colonialism and its consequential social reproductions of oppression continue to traverse across land, body, and mind in individual as well as collective contexts. Broken Branches explores the tributaries of oppression but also highlights the source of oppression within the United States. The philosophical, intersectional and feminist approach of critical analysis lays the framework for further interrogation and utilizes the catalyst of historical precedence to initiate this introduction. The author implores the reader to take introspective steps towards understanding where one’s own complicity exists in oppression as well and addresses the cognitive dissonance we have become accustomed to in perpetuating oppression. Broken Branches offers suggestions on how to forge forward to create substantive and structural change that is not contingent on the dispossession and oppression of the marginalized so that the health and vitality of a few is sustained. 'Broken Branches' encourages the practice of continuous inquiry and acknowledges that transformation is not possible without change. The author pushes for collectively empowered marginalized voices, operationalized pathways to inclusion, intersectional and equitable perspectives, and an increased investment in healing the trauma caused by the perpetuation of colonialism.

Broken Branches

Strange Fruit of the Colonialized Mind

By: Latashia N. Harris

This book seeks to bring in urban affairs, social justice issues, theory, communicative methods, media content analysis, policy, structural models, and organizations as well as voices to make it clear to the reader that the interconnectedness of the human interaction produces a society that we know today. We reproduce oppression among ourselves and within ourselves. It is only when these topics and disciplines meet, that we all learn more about what binds our minds, de/values our bodies, what we perpetuate ourselves. ¿What now?¿. This is a prevalent question that will breed a multitude of responses within a conversation or disconnect from the ideology of what solidarity or radicalism is within different spaces and contexts and how we can expand the reach of emphasizing break down and how we have as human beings been broke/in or (broken) in to adhere to hegemonic ideology, generational oppression, and assimilation. That is not something that is brought to the light while mixing all these issues and contexts together in one text. This book¿s angle is different and inclusive and discusses what¿s missing and why. The elements that will make this book irresistible - is that this is the era where we live- in current affairs that have a bleak dystopian outlook for a future because it plays reruns of the past and everything new is the same in new packaging. People are tired/fatigued in a various array of ways and reading literature that connects them or tunes them in rather to the way they are feeling, what they have been thinking, not feeling alone , and educating themselves on gaps within the rationale of their resistance or perpetuation- this book meets them half way. From academics to someone being told that their hair isn¿t respectable will pick up this book.
