rest as resistance

This rest as resistance terrain map is for care workers, practitioners, and leaders who want to understand rest as a political and liberatory concept — including its roots in Black feminist thought and abolitionist tradition, and what gets lost when dominant culture reduces it to a wellness practice. This terrain map includes:

• an overview of rest as resistance and how Roots in the Clouds builds on Tricia Hersey's framework through a moral cartography lens
• a brief history of how colonialism, slavery, and industrial capitalism shaped our relationship to rest, labor, and time
• an examination of how colonial logics continue to distort rest in professional and institutional settings today
• five pathways for decolonizing how we understand and reclaim rest
