"This book brilliantly illuminates exactly how cultural patterns of individualism fuel and uphold fascism, zionism, racism, ableism, and the other forces that shape the current structures of war and extraction we are so desperately trying to survive and resist."

–Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the next)

"This work shows the impact of colonization, trauma and ethno-nationalism on our bodies and reminds us that the way to liberation is always through feeling and towards each other.”

—Prentis Hemphill, founder of the Embodiment Institute

"Eliana Rubin shows us how the only solution to our shared history of trauma is a politics of mutual liberation, a battle by everyone for everyone.”

—Shane Burley, co-author of Safety Through Solidarity

"This text can help everyone with a body think beyond the boundaries of the State and into deep relationship with the earth.”

—adrienne maree brown, author of Emergent Strategy

Taking the State out of the Body: A Guide to Embodied Resistance to Zionism by Eliana Rubin is needed now more than ever.

At a time when colonial imperialism in the U.S. and Palestine are rearing their heads and right wing authoritarianism is on the rise globally, this book will equip you with the tools you need to move from rugged individualist models of self-help / preservation to liberatory frameworks of collective care and joint struggle.

We need the resources offered in this book; from understanding geopolitical impacts of intergenerational trauma, to self-regulation in conflict, to transformative approaches to harm, to cultivating long-haul relationships, to building solidarity across our movements.

We invite you to learn more, check out all the rewards, and support the project on Kickstarter to help bring this crucial book into our communities.
