Synopsis

How do we advocate for justice effectively in a world deeply divided by racial, gender, and class inequalities? If we want to make a positive difference, we have to know how to recognize our own biases and blind spots - only then can we understand how to be part of the solution and start having meaningful conversations. In Communicate for Change, journalist and communication consultant Genelle Aldred offers suggestions and guidance to help us be better listeners, readers, watchers, and talkers. With insight drawn from years of experience, she breaks down the barriers to effective conversation so we can communicate in a more nuanced, thoughtful way and understand our part in bringing about a more just society. You'll soon be noticing how singular narratives drive behavior and conversation, and how language helps to shape our views; understanding how fake news magnifies your own biases and blind spots; and reflecting on how to be a better ally in a way that is not just performative but that creates meaningful, effective, and lasting change. Communicate for Change is a book for anyone interested in the conversations about race that have been happening in the UK and around the world, and anyone wanting to play their part in bringing about class, gender, and racial equity. Thought-provoking and stimulating, it lays out how we can take that next step from learning and talking about anti-racism and unconscious bias to putting it into practice and actively shaping an environment in which justice can thrive.
