Description: This pioneering book guides therapists and bodyworkers in how to interpret the ways in which our multi-faceted identities are manifested in the body based on culture, communication, trauma, and systems of power.

Review Quotes: Marcia Bonato Warren has brilliantly highlighted the exquisitely dynamic ways multicultural people navigate the world by introducing the concept of Embodied Code Switching(R). Through the essential cultural art of storytelling as a tool of knowledge seeking and wisdom sharing, she has opened a pathway to multi-layered ways of knowing and ways of being. Movement and Identity offers the reader a blueprint for checking in with our mind, emotions and body from a cultural perspective with mindful embodied practices to support the varied experiences of moving through the world. This seminal work will be a resource for students and professionals alike for many years to come.--Angela M Grayson, PhD, President of the American Dance Therapy Association
