Dr. Maduro has conjured here a remarkable cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural synthesis of neurobiology, attachment and trauma theory, anti-racism, spirituality and epigenetics. Woven through her passionate prose is her appreciation of the centrality of storytelling, testimony, and bearing witness in the lives of human beings in groups and communities, and she makes generous and compelling use of her own personal lived experience. She brilliantly establishes the autonomic nervous system as the archivist of our life stories and our transgenerationally-transmitted familial and cultural heritages. She foregrounds and honors the suffering and the authority of the Ancestors and the power of 'ances-story' for good or for ill, and she places what she inventively and imaginatively depicts as the quiverful of 'SPEARS' of neuropsychosocial integration in the hands of the generations that are still to come. Here is a giant step forward for the emergent field of psychosocial studies.
