Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Strategies for Facilitating Conversations on Race
Autor Caprice Hollins, Ilsa Govanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2015
Prezentat sub forma unui manual practic, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion oferă o metodologie riguroasă pentru gestionarea dialogurilor dificile despre rasă, putere și privilegiu. Observăm o structură progresivă, organizată în patru secțiuni fundamentale care ghidează cititorul de la logistica organizării unui spațiu de lucru primitor până la tehnici avansate de intervenție în conflicte interculturale. Caprice Hollins și Ilsa Govan își folosesc experiența vastă în psihologie multiculturală și dezvoltare biculturală pentru a transforma disconfortul inerent acestor discuții într-un instrument de învățare constructivă.
Textul se distinge prin abordarea pragmatică a barierelor psihologice, precum frica facilitatorului sau mecanismele de apărare ale participanților. Ne-a atras atenția capitolul dedicat microagresiunilor rasiale și cel axat pe restructurarea dialogului interior, elemente esențiale pentru menținerea echilibrului într-un mediu tensionat. Comparabil cu Facilitating Conversations about Race in the Classroom de Danielle Stewart în ceea ce privește aplicabilitatea pedagogică, acest volum se extinde dincolo de sala de clasă, fiind actualizat pentru nevoile complexe ale mediului organizațional modern și ale sectorului non-profit.
În contextul operei autorilor, lucrarea completează viziunea din Inside Out, unde Caprice Hollins se concentra pe transformarea instituțională. Dacă acel volum oferea o hartă pentru schimbarea sistemică, titlul de față funcționează ca un manual de teren pentru interacțiunile umane directe. Stilul este direct și lipsit de jargon inutil, punând accent pe fraze de sprijin (learning conversation stems) și pe tehnici de mediere care evită rușinarea participanților, favorizând în schimb înțelegerea autentică.

Descriere
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Strategies for Facilitating Conversations on Race guides facilitators through a process of becoming comfortable with the discomfort in leading conversations about racism, privilege and power.
This book walks you through the important steps to create a foundation where participants feel brave enough to take risks and share their stories and perspectives. It guides you through strategies for engaging participants in courageous conversations with one another in ways that don't shame and blame people into understanding. This book is a useful tool for individuals, organizations and college professors who are interested in learning techniques for guiding their audience through dialogue whereby they become open to listening to one another for understanding rather than holding on to old beliefs and maintaining a posture of defense.
Readers will learn how the dynamics of race show up in cross cultural spaces, including the unique challenges faced by facilitators of color and white facilitators. In addition, we explore how to identify and counter white privilege in the dialogue between participants.
Both novice and experienced facilitators will learn helpful strategies for leading conversation that result in people recognizing their role as change agents in ending oppression.

Recenzii
Caprice & Ilsa have taken Richard Bach's admonition to heart in this book: "Learning is finding out what we already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you." Their fabulous book helps new and seasoned facilitators learn, do and teach so that participants in these conversations can approach conversations on race with open hearts and grace.
Leading one of the most diverse school districts in the nation requires me to not only continue to develop my own cultural competency but to ensure our school community also invests itself in this lifelong work. Dr. Caprice Hollins and Ilsa Govan have produced an invaluable tool-kit that drives home how race, prejudice and bias impact our society and the schoolhouse. They provide us with practical exercises and strategies to shepherd personal and institutional growth. Through understanding, not judgment, they help us to see the world through a compassionate lens that enables us to push one another toward greater competence while cultivating the human goodness we each possess. The authors, both with strong backgrounds in education, demonstrate profound understanding of the complexity of this work. This book ought to be considered foundational for all school leaders as we collective deliver on the moral imperative of creating a more equitable and just society.
Wow! This book is the most practical, comprehensive, useful guide for facilitating courageous conversations on race that I've ever read. I've attended a few of Cultures Connecting workshops and have been impressed with the facilitators' ability to create dynamic, inclusive AND challenging workshops that move everyone forward in their cultural competence. The expertise that Caprice and Ilsa offer in this book is invaluable for any facilitator wanting to grow their skills. I cannot recommend it enough and will definitely use these strategies in future trainings I facilitate.
As the lead trainer for the YWCA of Seattle|King|Snohomish and an activist for 20 years, I believe that Caprice Hollins and Ilsa Govan have created an extremely effective way to have courageous conversation around race and racism. Their organized approach, along with an understanding of how the human mind comprehends information and the human heart processes feelings around cultural competency, race and racism is outstanding. As culturally competent training around race has become a cornerstone to effective policy and program solutions, their book could not come at a better time.
Do you have a passion to authentically penetrate one of the most unfinished conversations in the United States? This thought-provoking book offers: An opportunity to extend on how you currently engage folks in courageous discussions on "race" while simultaneously strengthening your own reflective journey towards cultural competence! I encourage you to do what I have done-to grasp onto the gift of this radiant vision and interweave it's brilliance into your present work!
The illumination that there is no 'one right way to engage in conversations about racism, power and privilege' was very freeing. Caprice and Ilsa offer a number of strategies and thoughtful approaches on how we can respectfully engage in often-difficult conversations, which helps to keep me mindful that the onus is on me, not the other person. Since reading this book, I am moved to discard my tired mantra of 'if only I had said' and revise it to 'if only I had asked.' I can see how this little change can advance a conversation in a very powerful way!
Caprice D. Hollins and Ilsa M. Govan have created an honest and forthright, multiple perspectives guide for all levels of racial and social justice workshop facilitators. From how to organize and maximize the physical space and create a productive, engaging atmosphere, to methods for redirecting those who attempt to control the conversation, this guide offers direction for engaging in honest, critical dialogue. Authors offer ways to scaffold prior knowledge, defuse intercultural conflict and engage in the introspective reflection required to be successful in social justice activism. A welcome addition to the field.
