Through the examination of oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have lodged complaints regarding harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed uncovers the discrepancy between the intended outcomes of complaint processes and their actual implementation. By engaging with the act of making complaints within institutions, Ahmed proposes that it serves as a valuable feminist pedagogy, enabling us to understand the workings and intended beneficiaries of these processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAhmed delves into the covert nature of complaint-making, highlighting how doors are frequently shut in the face of those who raise concerns. To overcome these barriers and facilitate the flow of complaints, Ahmed emphasizes the need for the formation of new collectives. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategies employed to suppress complaints, while also offering a powerful and poetic contemplation on the potential of complaints to bring about change. Drawing upon a rich tradition of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed provides a timely examination of the pathways toward institutional transformation and the imperative of pursuing such change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 546g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 28 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781478017714\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sara Ahmed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095589515514,"sku":"9781478017714","price":25.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e268477c6be4b83b1b764b8f58a16537.jpg?v=1638331182","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/complaint","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
