Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions by Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran
Subtle Acts of Exclusion examines microaggressions, or subtle phrases or actions that cause marginalized individuals’ discomfort or distress. This book is important because many folks think of racism as intentional, but innocuous behaviors can be just as harmful. Subtle Acts of Exclusion demonstrates how to avoid alienating group members and presents a formula for building trust and rapport between team members of all backgrounds. Notable Quote: “One of the most critical aspects of inclusion is that it must happen actively. When we just passively think of ourselves as good people but do not do anything to actively include others, that creates passive exclusion.”
