“Consciousness-in-Action” Book Released
I am pleased to announce the publication of my book, Consciousness-in-Action: Toward an Integral Psychology of Liberation & Transformation. This book is the result of many years of research, writing and, most importantly, of working in community for personal and social change. I am quite happy with it even as I realize their is more that needs to be written — though not quite yet. Right now, I am savoring the experinece of seeing the book published and, of course, of telling all my friends and colleagues about it.
And I am doubly pleased that with the release of this book, we officially launch ilé|Publications. This has been part of our vision of ilé since its the inception fifteen years ago. My colleagues at ilé and I are quite happy to see this become a reality, and are already planning future works, not only by each of us, but by other colleagues who share the values and vision of liberation and transformation of ilé.
So, please check it out. It is available now at the new ilé|Publications online storefront. To order it now, just click on the link.
You might also be interested in knowing that I am available for presentations and workshops based on this work; these are geared to varied audiences ranging from community activists and organizers, to colleges students and faculty, and to helping professionals, OD consultants and cultural change workers. Maybe even a book signing event at a local bookstore, college or community organization in your vecinity could be arranged. I would greatly appreciate your help in getting the word out about the book and this work to people within your circles of influence.
And, naturally, I would love to hear your feedback. Just post your comments below, or send me an e-mail directly.

Consciousness-in-Action: Toward an Integral Psychology of Liberation & Transformation
by Raúl Quiñones Rosado PhDDescription:
Drawing from psychology, sociology, social theory, integral theory, and years of work in communities-of-struggle, this book proposes a unique approach to personal change and social transformation. With implications for helping professionals, educators, community organizers, activists and others committed to social change, Consciousness-in-Action offers an integral view of well-being and development in the context of institutional and internalized oppression. Consciousness-in-action as a personal and group process is presented as a practice to liberate people from emotional and behavioral reactivity of learned superiority and inferiority based on race, gender, culture, class and other social identities, a process central to social transformation and the evolution of human consciousness.
