Becoming an Ally is a book for men who want to end sexism, white
people who want to end racism, straight people who want to end
heterosexism, able-bodied people who want to end ableism for all
people who recognize their privilege and want to move toward a more
just world by learning to act as allies. Has oppression always been
with us, just part of human nature ? What does individual healing
have to do with social justice? What does social justice have to do
with individual healing? Why do members of the same oppressed group
fight one another, sometimes more viciously than they fight their
oppressors? Why do some who experience oppression develop a
life-long commitment to fighting oppression, while others turn
around and oppress those with less power? In this accessible and
enlightening book, now in its third edition, Anne Bishop examines
history, economic and political structures, and individual
psychology in a search for the origins of racism, sexism,
heterosexism, ableism, ageism and all the other forms of oppression
that divide us. Becoming an Ally looks for paths to justice and
lays out guidelines for becoming allies of oppressed peoples when
we are in the privileged role. A new chapter in this third edition
offers a greatly expanded discussion of effective approaches to
educating allies, which is meant for teachers of adults,
particularly those who teach about diversity, equity and
anti-oppression. In this chapter, Bishop examines the ways in which
Western culture prevents us from recognizing our roles as members
of privileged groups and explores how to challenge this with
participatory exercises and group discussion. "
