Between the Bars: A New Framework for Creating Change in Social Justice

More about the book

Diversity and inclusion work has been done for over 50 years with little to no change. That's because we're having the wrong conversations!We can't get to real change in the current models.Between the Bars offers a whole new framework. Designed from the Cage of Oppression, it clarifies and redefines concepts like intersectionality, implicit bias, allyship, privilege, and internalized oppression.It reframes society's role and power in maintaining the status quo.It changes the idea that we all have to think the same, that we have to change everybody's mind and beliefs to successfully make change. This is the framework I believe is needed to begin making real, sustainable change in the fields of social justice. This is the common experience and the common language we need to get to the deep, meaningful, change-pushing conversations and behaviors we all need.If you are a DEI professional, you need this book.
