Publisher's Synopsis
MANY HAVE HEARD THE TERM microaggressions, but not everyone understands what they are or how to recognize them and stop them from happening. 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. Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran offer a more productive term, subtle acts of exclusion, or SAE, to describe the damaging effects of stereotypes, backhanded compliments, unfounded assumptions, or objectification. Subtle Acts of Exclusion provides scripts and action plans to have safe, open-minded, and honest conversations to create inclusive workplaces, communities, and people.
