'In my work as a gender equality activist, the question I most get
asked is, "how do you respond to...?", followed by one of those
phrases that leave us feeling frustrated or tongue-tied. In this
book, you'll find an empowering roadmap for changing the
conversation on social justice issues.' In our increasingly
polarised society, having productive discussions about social
justice issues has never been more challenging, or more crucial.
From the persistent ('not all men,' 'I don't see colour') to the
insidious ('to play devil's advocate...', 'climate change is
coming'), too often, antagonistic or problematic responses threaten
to distract and derail our most urgent conversations. Tackling
twenty of the most enduring conversation-stoppers, No Offence,
But... equips readers with the knowledge, tools and context to
respond with confidence. Alongside other trailblazing writers,
educators and advocates, acclaimed campaigner Gina Martin helps us
to unpick these phrases, understand why they are harmful and feel
empowered to change the conversation. Featuring chapters from Aja
Barber, Ben Hurst, Cathy Reay, Charlie Craggs, Daze Aghaji, Ione
Gamble, Koa Beck, Mariam Kemple Hardy and Azadeh Hosseini, Nova
Reid and Salma El-Wardany.
