About the Book

What can be learned from a story woven out of fragmented moments of joy, pain, horror, and blissful awareness? Flesh Mapping is an attempt to create a pedagogy of shared narrative, place, and politics; to narratively map the injuries of the material, emotional, and spiritual impact of poverty, displacement, hunger and war on an individual life. The book is an invitation to instructors in education, anthropology, women’s studies, and labor studies to re-imagine education as the praxis for liberation, renewal, and hope. It serves as a process of naming the injuries inflicted on real bodies by privilege and power, like sites on a map. The goal is not simply to name and make visible privilege but to simultaneously create emergent spaces of dissonance in education that can challenge and transform power at the site where the personal is political.

About the Author :
Sylvia L. Richardson is a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. She is the host and producer of the internationally syndicated radio program Latin Waves and serves as the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC)’s Vice President for North America.

Review :
"In this remarkable and incisive book, Sylvia L. Richardson offers a fresh and poetic view of the powerful anchoring role of family in the ongoing fight against injustice and inequity. Her polyvocal stories and poetry are a generous gift to humanity, reminding us all of the strength of the human spirit in adversity, and our collective imperative to strive for social justice. Richardson's wonderful and touching memoir offers an invitation to a shared journey that is as poignant as it is painful, mapping transformational moments in a life marked by loss, but always renewed through solidarity, love, and hope." (Darren E. Lund, Professor, University of Calgary, Canada) "'Flesh Mapping' is the story of a journey, taking the author from war-torn El Salvador and her family's struggle with poverty to her escape to the north and confrontation with racism in the U.S., ending with her successful career in Canada as a radio presenter and producer of the widely acclaimed program Latin Waves. Sylvia L. Richardson's luminous and courageous writing gives us powerful insight into the experience of millions who have crossed the Rio Bravo, evoking images and emotions that will stay with us long after we have closed the book. Flesh Mapping is a must-read for anyone interested in going beyond the rhetoric and statistics and learning from the inside about Latin American immigration into el norte, and the scars those who make the journey take with them." (Silvia Federici, Professor Emerita, Hofstra University)
