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.]
Addressing Systemic Discrimination by Reframing the Problem
The writer, Dr. Frank L. Douglas, started this book by defining what equality, inclusion, and systematic racism are in the work environment and later showed how these definitions are different in cases that include people of color.
In his opinion, both equity and inclusion are necessary to effectively address systemic discrimination.
In the book, we have plenty of statistical data that shows that people of color are differently treated within the work environment, as described in 18 anonymous case studies.
While reading, I have felt violated and unpleasant knowing that black people, when confronted by the police or people of authority, have, in numerous experiences, had encounters with an unnecessary show of force, whether they have committed a crime or not.
Growing up in an area with a diverse ethnic group, where you learn from day one that we are all different in color and ethnicity, discrimination and racism are barely present. I was curious and drawn to know, to learn, and to be aware of the fact that somewhere on the other side of the world, people don't have this fortune, and that breaks my heart.
My favorite parts of the book are when the author reframes the problem in the case study. It felt like advice and hope for the case. While reading the case, I was guessing based on my experience what I would do, and after reading the answer, I was amazed at how simple sometimes it was.
My mind was confused. Why don't they leave this toxic work environment? But I find that most of them have something awaiting them or someone who depends on them to have a regular income to endure this torture.
I didn't find any dislikes in this book; it was educational and informative for me. Some definitions were difficult to read and understand, but they are part of the learning process, which sometimes can be unpleasant.
I'm amazed by the data and stories people have provided in this study and in this field. I found this book unique, and I give my assessment 5 out of 5 stars. Extensive editing was also noticed. In my opinion, there are no grammar or typographical errors.
I would recommend this book to people who are curious like me to know and learn. For people who are interested in systematic racism and discrimination in the work environment and, of course, solving those problems, this book is great to read.
