Slips of the tongue, unwitting favoritism, and stereotyped
assumptions are just some examples of microaggression. Nearly all
of us commit microaggressions at some point, even if we don’t
intend to. Yet over time a pattern of microaggression can cause
considerable harm by reminding members of marginalized groups of
their precarious position. The Ethics of Microaggression is a much
needed and clearly written exploration of this pervasive yet
complex problem. What is microaggression and how do we know when it
is occurring? Can we be held responsible for microaggressions and
if so, how? How has social media affected the problem? What role
can philosophy play in understanding microaggression? Regina Rini
explores these highly topical and controversial questions in an
engaging and fair-minded way, arguing that an event is a
microaggression precisely because it causes a marginalized person
to experience an ambiguous encounter with oppression. She
illustrates her argument with compelling examples from media,
politics, and psychology and explains the significance of essential
concepts, such as media representation, reparative renaming, and
safe spaces. The Ethics of Microaggression explains what
microaggression is and offers strategies for combating it. Assuming
no prior knowledge of the topic or philosophy, it demystifies a
controversial and extremely important topic in clear language. It
is ideal for anyone coming to the topic for the first time and for
students in philosophy, gender studies, race theory, disability
theory, and social and political philosophy.
