Learn how you can help combat micro and macroaggressions against
socially devalued groups with this authoritative new resource
Microintervention Strategies: What You Can Do to Disarm and
Dismantle Indivdiual and Systemic Racism and Bias, delivers a
cutting-edge exploration and extension of the concept of
microinterventions to combat micro and macroaggressions targeted at
marginalized groups in our society. While racial bias is the
primary example used throughout the book, the author's approach is
applicable to virtually all forms of bias and discrimination,
including that directed at those with disabilities, LGBTQ people,
women, and others. The book calls out unfair and biased
institutional policies and practices and presents strategies to
help reduce the impact of sexism, heterosexism, ableism, and
classism. It provides a new conceptual framework for distinguishing
between the different categories of microinterventions, or
individual anti-bias actions, and offers specific, concrete, and
practical advice for taking a stand against micro and
macroaggressions. Microintervention Strategies delivers the
knowledge and skills necessary to confront individual and
institutional manifestations of oppression. Readers will also
enjoy: - A thorough introduction to the major conceptual
distictions between micro and macroaggressions and an explanation
of the manifestations, dynamics, and impact of bias on marginalized
groups. - An exploration of the meaning and definition of
micorinterventions, including a categorization into three types:
microaffirmations, micorprotections, and microchallenges. - A
review of literature that discusses the positive benefits that
accrue to targets, allies, bystanders, and others when
microinterventions take place. - A discussion of major barriers to
acting against prejudice and discrimination. Perfect for
undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in psychology,
education, social work, and political science, Microintervention
Strategies will also earn a place in the libraries of
psychologists, educators, parents, and teachers, who hope to do
their part to combat microaggressions and other forms of bias and
discrimination.
