So excited to be reading this! I’ve always felt a gap btw the Buddhism I was taught, both the traditional version that somehow twists the Buddha’s words to center hierarchy & the mainstream American (White) Buddhism that boils down Buddhist philosophy into some philosophical rationality. I’m encouraged to see that this book already centers the interconnectedness of spiritual liberation & societal liberation.

this book excels in other ways too but Vesely-Flad includes incredibly readable summaries of not only the key tenets of Black radical thought and the cornerstones of Buddhist philosophy (Four Noble Truths, anicca, etc.). If anyone needs a readable summary of either, I would read ch. 4 and 5 of this book
