Review of Addressing Systemic Discrimination by Reframing the Problem
[Following is a volunteer review of "Addressing Systemic Discrimination by Reframing the Problem" by Dr. Frank L. Douglas.]
Discrimination is everywhere, subtle or not. What is even worse is that despite best efforts to eliminate, it still reinvents itself. Dr. Frank L. Douglas explores systemic discrimination in his book Addressing Systemic Discrimination by Reframing The Problem.
The time we saw a huge uproar on racism as a form of systemic discrimination is during the pandemic where many black people were killed, leading to the “Black Lives Matter” movement. It is from these scenarios (specifically the George Floyd murder) and similar others that the author draws inspiration and motivation to address issues. The author himself had an incident which he shares in the book. According to Dr. Frank L. Douglas, systemic discrimination usually arises from the challenges in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. To solve these, he resorted to creating the Safe Haven Dialogues LLC. It aims to empower Aggrieved Individuals have dialogues with supervisors to find a solution that works for both parties increase productivity and harmony. Emphasis is on the Reframing Process in order to solve diverse problems. Case studies are used to explain and illustrate how the Reframing Process works as well as its relevance.
I am lost for words mostly because this is the first book (that I have come across) that blatantly calls out on discrimination. It is bold and straightforward. The book shows the courage that we ought to have to address the problems we are facing as a globe. The subjects in the case study express bravery by sharing their stories while the author takes a step further to point out, elaborate and offer solutions. This brings me to the second point. I love how the author does not only point out the problem and wrongdoings but also offers possible solutions or rather better channels to approach the problems for greater results. Thirdly, explaining a concept is not enough. Illustrations go a long way in achieving understanding which is clearly seen in the book. Finally, this book is created in a way that the relevance is infinite. As earlier on stated, discrimination reinvents itself and therefore the content can be applied anywhere.
Addressing Systemic Discrimination by Reframing The Problem is an amazing read that I plan on reading over and over just to remind myself on the Reframing Process. The only problem that some readers may encounter is that it is heavy on the first part explaining the concept but after that it becomes a lot lighter. Personally, I did not mind it at all.
For the reasons mentioned above, it earns 5 out of 5 stars. Furthermore, it is perfectly edited and professionally published.
A recommendation is to leaders, organizations as well as individuals who desire to reduce conflicts arising from discrimination of all kinds.
