“This is a unique book in its integrative, liberating, and transformative potential. The author does an exquisite job of synergizing personal, spiritual, communal, and social development. Transcending polarities and binaries, he offers us invigorating ways of working with individuals and communities to realize our human and collective potential. By using visual maps and engaging the reader in multiple ways, the author succeeds in connecting with readers passionately and reasonably.” — Isaac Prilleltensky, PhD Dean, School of Education, University of Miami Co-Editor, Critical Psychology and Community Psychology: In Pursuit of Liberation and Well-being ••••••••• “Raúl Quiñones-Rosado’s new book…makes an important contribution to integral studies; he describes new ways for understanding group and self identity; he opens new ways for transmuting the processes of fear, oppression and victim-hood into liberation and transformation; he creates a unique synthesis between [Wilber’s all-quadrant, all-level] AQAL model and the Native American medicine wheel; and he creates a processural system that overlays and resonates with both models. Consciousness-in-Action is a useful and purposeful manual for people interested in social activism at any level. It is also a wonderful personal narrative, giving us an insight into a caring, thoughtful, and hard-working integrated person. It is a great example for how integral writers can expand the existing models into process versions, into infinite riches of discourse.” — Bonnitta Roy Associate Editor, Integral Review Journal ••••••••• Author Raúl Quiñones Rosado, PhD, works within various communities-of-struggle in Puerto Rico and the United States to support those committed to personal change and social transformation. Co-founder and former co-director of ilé, inc., he currently teaches, guides and trains others in the principles and practices of consciousness-in-action.
