UnLearn InEquity : an invitation to truth & transformation / Melvin Bray.
"This is for you. Yes, you! Whoever you are reading this sentence. Whether you are a person of color, woman, queer, poor, un/under-employed, undereducated, disabled and/or in poor health. Or if you are white, male, straight, wealthy, healthy, Christian, highly educated, and/or currently able-bodied. Perhaps you don't fit neatly into any of these categories. Whether you are historically privileged, historically marginalized, or a little of both, the journey charted herein is for you too. Why? Because we are all part of a society that is designed to advantage some, while disadvantaging others. That advantaging some while disadvantaging others is called inequity. Inequity harms us all in more ways than most know -- morally, materially, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and even physically. This invitation is to discover how you can process through the personal and structural complexities of unlearning your participation in and acceptance of inequity. Just as importantly, it's an invitation to find healing. Welcome, friend, to the journey of a lifetime!"-- Publisher.
