"This is an unreasonable manifesto. It's unreasonable because it challenges us to take responsibility, to be kind, to dig in, and to change the invisible corners of our culture. We've got work to do. Unreasonable is precisely what we need." --Seth Godin, author of This is Marketing "This book skillfully uses stories and research to build a deep understanding that is able to take something negative and turn it into an opportunity to productively come together and create more support, trust, and equity." --Aimee Meredith Cox, PhD, Associate Professor of Anthropology, New York University, and author of Shapeshifters "Jana and Baran have provided us a powerful tool to help us learn about how subtle forms of bias can profoundly impact people's sense of belonging and their ability to perform at the highest level. Through thoughtful research and powerful examples, they have not only brilliantly articulated the problem but also offered us a pathway to a solution. Kudos!" --Howard Ross, author of ReInventing Diversity , Everyday Bias , and Our Search for Belonging "This book should open the floodgates for people to tell their own stories of being subtly excluded at work, with a new language that will make it so much easier to address out in the open and create teachable moments.
As a little person, I have experienced so many subtle acts of exclusion over my career, whether it's people telling me I look 'cute' or having to constantly fight for respect and validity. I wish every one of my colleagues over the years had been able to read this book!" --Becky Curran Kekula, Director, Disability Equality Index, Disability:IN.
