| book description |

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