Dr. Frank L. Douglas' non-fiction book, Addressing Systemic Discrimination by Reframing the Problem, is a valuable resource for individuals seeking to combat discrimination in their daily lives. Through practical strategies and empowerment, the book teaches readers how to navigate a dysfunctional society and become actively involved in confronting discrimination in all its forms. Given the current increase in societal and global discrimination, this book is a crucial and pertinent read for modern times.

The central theme of this book revolves around various types of discrimination that individuals face, including but not limited to race and gender. It offers different approaches to tackling these issues, ranging from problem identification to finding solutions. The author illustrates this by presenting case studies of various subjects and the challenges they faced. He then applies the Safe Haven Dialogue (SHD) reframing process to examine the issues of equity and inclusion and find more effective ways of analyzing and solving these problems.

This book presents a valuable pathway for individuals facing discrimination to initiate conversations with their supervisors, leading to solutions that improve their working conditions and productivity. Drawing from personal experience, the author's work is credible and empathetic towards those affected by systemic discrimination. Furthermore, this book raises awareness about the various forms of discrimination and provides practical solutions for addressing them. It is a must-read for individuals who may not even realize they are being discriminated against, as well as for employers and those in positions of power who may unconsciously perpetuate discrimination. Overall, this book serves as a timely reminder that systemic discrimination is still a pervasive issue and that it is up to everyone to work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive society. All of these are what I like about this book.

There was nothing about the book that I disliked; it was an enlightening read, even for someone like me who is already a part of society. The book not only raises awareness about the different types of discrimination but also offers practical solutions for addressing them. The author introduces novel ideas, such as reframing the problem, which provide a new perspective on the issue. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to understand or combat systemic discrimination. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.

I gave the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. It is a crucial tool for identifying and combating systemic discrimination in workplaces, offering innovative ideas and tools such as the SHD reframing process. I found the book engaging and informative, especially in its exploration of the complexities of systemic discrimination through the various case problems presented. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of systemic discrimination or looking to take action against it. Overall, this book is a valuable resource that sheds light on an important issue and provides practical solutions for creating a more equitable and inclusive society.
