The Great Migration was the name coined for the mass movement of African-Americans north of the Mason-Dixon line in the years following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. The enormous promise of emancipation proved to be illusory for the majority of Southern blacks, whether free or formerly enslaved, and as a result, hundreds of thousands made use of their fundamental freedom to leave. This resulted in a “push” away from the South, caused by ongoing discrimination, punishing Jim Crow laws, and increasing violence directed at blacks by whites.

What if its deepest power lies in personal liberation, far removed from social justice agendas? Yoga is Dead: Taking Back a Sacred Practice from Political Movements is a bold, unapologetic manifesto for those who feel the weight of external ideologies suffocating the ...
