Subtle acts of exclusion : how to understand, identify, and stop microaggressions

Jana, Tiffany (author.). Baran, Michael, (author.).

Summary: "Our workplace and society are growing more diverse, but are we supporting inclusive cultures? While overt racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination are relatively easy to spot, we cannot neglect the subtler everyday actions that normalize exclusion. Many have heard the term microaggression, but not everyone fully understands what they are or how to recognize them and stop them from happening. In this book, Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran offer a clearer, more accessible term, subtle acts of exclusion, or SAEs, to emphasize the purpose and effects of these actions. After all, people generally aren’t trying to be aggressive. Usually, they’re trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, be funny, or build closeness. But whether in the form of exaggerated stereotypes, backhanded compliments, unfounded assumptions, or objectification, SAE are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances."--

    Jana, who is associated with companies working to advance inclusive workplaces, and Baran, a social scientist and consultant, use the term "subtle acts of exclusion" to describe microaggressions and how to understand, identify, and stop them at work and beyond. They discuss reframing the term “microaggressions” to make it clearer and removing the concept of concerns being small, as well as the framework of "subtle acts of exclusion"; connecting to one's own marginalized identities, becoming more empathetic, and thinking before speaking; speaking up in a way that holds people accountable with productive, open, and civil conversations; embedding accountability into organizations; and scenarios related to gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, ability, religion, and age and generation, including accountability aspects and alternatives. The book ends with a chapter on intentional acts of inclusion. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
