A practical, short, compassionate guide for navigating conversations across difference. I found the frameworks offered for being an ally to the source of non-inclusive behaviour particularly insightful.

learnt new terms like tone policing and has made me rethink how i approach life as an ally and the ability to use an off ramp. it also gave useful turn of phrases or techniques to address.

I saw this book on a display at my local library (three cheers for local libraries!), saw it was a) focused on practical recommendations and b) short, thought I'd skim it to see if it would be a good resource for a loved one who's struggling with having conversations around these topics and asked me for advice... and ended up sitting in my car in the library parking lot for two hours reading it and then spending another hour finishing it in a restaurant when I finally realized I was hungry and cold.
I won't hesitate to admit that my rating is partially because I strongly agree with the nuanced, reflective approach of the authors. And if you're looking for guidelines or suggestions for activism, this isn't that book (though the authors do gently nudge people in that direction). But with those caveats, I strongly recommend this book.

I loved this book because it is so general yet very specific. It manages to talk about different forms of discrimination without judging one as worse than another.
I think this is a wonderful book for allies who like more practical guidance of how to interact effectively with affected and non-affected people. This book acknowledges that we are all not perfect and implements human imperfections in their recommendations.
I found this to be a holistic book, summarizing lots of findings into one. Maybe not a lot of new things for people who are already into communicating respectfully, but still a very nice and informative read!
