Psychologist and educator Tiffany G. Townsend, PhD, draws from her decades of leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to equip us with tools for resistance and resilience. Dr. Townsend unpacks the tactics used to stifle equity, including microaggressions, tokenism, gaslighting, and the systemic dismantling of DEI efforts with a concept she calls the \"redemptionist playbook.\" This guide is for anyone who has ever felt worn down by injustice, disillusioned by regression, or isolated in their advocacy. It offers validation, empowerment, and above all, the reminder that the fight for justice is a long arc that we will ultimately bend together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Based in both scholarship and inspiration, Dr. Townsend's writing unpacks concepts of gaslighting, racial trauma, healing, and community action in ways that cultivate hope as well as practical steps toward collective liberation.\"\u003c\/em\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003eThema Bryant, PhD\u003c\/strong\u003e, coauthor of \u003cem\u003eThe Antiracism Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e and author of \u003cem\u003eHomecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":66516520796464,"sku":"BDvcjx","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/vcjx-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778219121","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-vcjx","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
