Oluo shows how, throughout the last 150 years of American history, white male supremacy has wrought devastating consequences for people of color, women and nonbinary people, and white men themselves.

Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems. World-renowned activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor invites us to reconnect with the radical origins of our minds and bodies and celebrate our collective, enduring strength. As we awaken to our own indoctrinated body shame, we feel inspired to awaken others and to interrupt the systems that perpetuate body shame and oppression against all bodies. When we act from this truth on a global scale, we usher in the transformative opportunity of radical self-love, which is the opportunity for a more just, equitable, and compassionate world--for us all. This second edition includes stories from Taylor's travels around the world combating body terrorism and shines a light on the path toward liberation guided by love. In a brand new final chapter, she offers specific tools, actions, and resources for confronting racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia. And she provides a case study showing how radical self-love not only dismantles shame and self-loathing in us but has the power to dismantle entire systems of injustice. Together with the accompanying workbook, Your Body Is Not an Apology, Taylor brings the practice of radical self-love to life." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6278375</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6278375</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Taylor, Sonya Renee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6278375109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Power of Radical Self-love</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781523090990/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fearless and Free]]></title><description><![CDATA[**A February LibraryReads Notable Nonfiction Bonus Pick**"A gorgeous, captivating gem of a memoir...Josephine Baker's as enthralling on the page as she was on the stage." --Abbott Kahler, New York Times bestselling author of Eden Undone and Sin in the Second CityPublished in the US for the first time, Fearless and Free is the memoir of the fabulous, rule-breaking, one-of-a-kind Josephine Baker, the iconic dancer, singer, spy, and Civil Rights activist. After stealing the spotlight as a teenaged Broadway performer during the height of the Harlem Renaissance, Josephine then took Paris by storm, dazzling audiences across the Roaring Twenties. In her famous banana skirt, she enraptured royalty and countless fans--Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso among them. She strolled the streets of Paris with her pet cheetah wearing a diamond collar. With her signature flapper bob and enthralling dance moves, she was one of the most recognizable women in the world.When World War II broke out, Josephine became a decorated spy for the French ReÌ¹sistance. Her celebrity worked as her cover, as she hid spies in her entourage and secret messages in her costumes as she traveled. She later joined the Civil Rights movement in the US, boycotting segregated concert venues, and speaking at the March on Washington alongside Martin Luther King Jr. First published in France in 1949, her memoir will now finally be published in English. At last we can hear Josephine in her own voice: charming, passionate, and brave. Her words are thrilling and intimate, like she's talking with her friends over after-show drinks in her dressing room.

If we believe in the morality and the profitability of including people of diverse and underestimated backgrounds in the workplace, why don't we do it? Because, explains Ruchika Tulshyan in this eye-opening book, we don't realize that inclusion takes awareness, intention, and regular practice. Inclusion doesn't just happen; we have to work at it. Tulshyan presents inclusion best practices, showing how leaders and organizations can meaningfully promote inclusion and diversity. Tulshyan centers the workplace experience of women of color, who are subject to both gender and racial bias. It is at the intersection of gender and race, she shows, that we discover the kind of inclusion policies that benefit all. Tulshyan debunks the idea of the "level playing field" and explains how leaders and organizations can use their privilege for good by identifying and exposing bias, knowing that they typically have less to lose in speaking up than a woman of color does. She explains why "leaning in" doesn't work--and dismantling structural bias does; warns against hiring for "culture fit," arguing for "culture add" instead; and emphasizes the importance of psychological safety in the workplace--you need to know that your organization has your back. With this important book, Tulshyan shows us how we can make progress toward inclusion and diversity--and we must start now."-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6288536</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6288536</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tulshyan, Ruchika]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6288536109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>An Intersectional Approach to Creating A Culture of Belonging at Work</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780262368605/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inclusion on Purpose]]></title><description><![CDATA["A guide for organizations to improve their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, focusing specifically on the experiences of women of color" -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6265576</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6265576</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tulshyan, Ruchika]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6265576109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Intersectional Approach to Creating A Culture of Belonging at Work</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780262046558/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inclusion on Purpose]]></title><description><![CDATA[Few would disagree that inclusion is both the right thing to do and good for business.

It's time to talk about feminism. In this book, 21 women write powerfully and candidly about what it means to be a feminist today. Covering topics ranging from financial independence to resting bitch face, and from workplace harassment to online trolls, this collection will answer your questions and validate your experiences. Poets, essayists, activists, actors, and professors explore race, class, and culture to paint an intersectional portrait of modern feminism. You'll hear from early feminist voices, seminal thinkers on gender, and contemporary advocates for women's rights. The pieces in this book are by turns refreshing, provocative, moving, and hilarious, as diverse as the women who wrote them. These authors prove that feminism is for everyone and every day. It demands to be discussed, and it calls for many voices.

Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist, and Keisha N. Blain, author of Set the World on Fire. The story begins in 1619--a year before the Mayflower--when the White Lion disgorges "some 20-and-odd Negroes" onto the shores of Virginia, inaugurating the African presence in what would become the United States. It takes us to the present, when African Americans, descendants of those on the White Lion and a thousand other routes to this country, continue a journey defined by inhuman oppression, visionary struggles, stunning achievements, and millions of ordinary lives passing through extraordinary history. Four Hundred Souls is a unique one-volume "community" history of African Americans. The editors, Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, have assembled ninety brilliant writers, each of whom takes on a five-year period of that four-hundred-year span. The writers explore their periods through a variety of techniques: historical essays, short stories, personal vignettes, and fiery polemics. They approach history from various perspectives: through the eyes of towering historical icons or the untold stories of ordinary people; through places, laws, and objects. While themes of resistance and struggle, of hope and reinvention, course through the book, this collection of diverse pieces from ninety different minds, reflecting ninety different perspectives, fundamentally deconstructs the idea that Africans in America are a monolith--instead it unlocks the startling range of experiences and ideas that have always existed within the community of Blackness. This is a history that illuminates our past and gives us new ways of thinking about our future, written by the most vital and essential voices of our present]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6055624</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6055624</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6055624109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Community History of African America, 1619-2019</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593343210/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Radical Belonging]]></title><description><![CDATA["Lindo Bacon, author of the highly regarded and consistently selling titles Body Respect and Health at Every Size, returns with another groundbreaking book that explores the deep ramifications people experienced when "othered" in society and provides a guide for creating a world where all bodies are valued and everyone belongs." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6050658</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6050658</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bacon, Lindo, 1963-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6050658109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How to Survive and Thrive in An Unjust World (while Transforming It for the Better)</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781950665341/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
