This book is required reading for anyone interested in building a loving, just, and diverse world.” —Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, Zen teacher \u0026amp; author of Wholehearted: Slow Down, Help Out, Wake Up. Racial justice without shame or blame. Road-tested tools to start making a difference today. In Deep Diversity, award-winning racial justice educator Shakil Choudhury explores the emotionally loaded topic of racism using a compassionate, scientific approach that everyone can understand—whether you are Black, Indigenous, a person of color (BIPOC), or white. With clear language and engaging stories that will appeal to readers of Brené Brown and Malcolm Gladwell, Choudhury explains how and why well-intentioned people can perpetuate systems of oppression, often unconsciously. Using a trauma-informed approach that removes shame or blame, he offers us the tools to recognize, take authentic responsibility, and enact deep change. In easy-to-absorb chapters, Choudhury interweaves research into the brain and studies on human behavior with hard-won lessons from his career of helping organizations and CEOs create more inclusive environments. He models vulnerability and mistake-making, sharing examples of his own bias-missteps so readers are encouraged into their own racial justice journey without judgment. Readers will come away from the book with practical tools and an understanding of: How to become a systems thinker by developing “racial pattern recognition” skills in order to challenge racism and other forms of systemic discrimination when we encounter them, while minimizing the tendency to shame or blame ourselves or others. How to recognize when the unconscious influence is at play and how to counteract it. How to shift from a “defensive diversity” mindset to a “proactive diversity” mindset, where we actively seek out and celebrate differences. How to build strong, trusting relationships across different racial and cultural backgrounds. How to create a culture of belonging and inclusion in your organization or community. How to use storytelling and other creative techniques to promote racial justice and empathy. How to address the systemic barriers that prevent BIPOC individuals from reaching their full potential. In conclusion, Deep Diversity is a powerful and essential book for anyone who wants to create a more just and equitable world. By challenging our biases, taking responsibility for our actions, and building strong relationships across different racial and cultural backgrounds, we can work towards a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Shakil Choudhury’s compassionate and practical approach makes this book accessible and relevant to readers of all backgrounds and experiences.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 438g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 161 x 21 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781771649018                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shakil Choudhury","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098782888186,"sku":"9781771649018","price":15.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/384472a6f6453a2dd27f96104e8aca91.jpg?v=1636605545","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/deep-diversity-a-compassionate-scientific-approach-to-achieving-racial-justice","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
