As the unprecedented backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion intensifiesâwith corporations dismantling initiatives, lawmakers passing anti-DEI legislation, and postâGeorge Floyd promises abandonedâthis tactical handbook arms advocates with revolutionary resistance strategies drawn from Black historical movements.
Dr. Janice Gassam Asare transforms centuries of Black resistance wisdomâfrom Underground Railroad networks to civil rights organizing tacticsâinto modern resistance plans, wielding ethical AI as a force multiplier to create sustainable change that outlasts corporate whims and political cycles.
Each chapter grounds modern workplace tactics in revolutionary approaches of more than twenty prominent Black historical figures, including the following:
- Ida B. WellsâDocumentation techniques for workplace injustice inspired by her work
- Ella Baker and Fred HamptonâCoalition-building methods from the American civil rights movement
- Toni Morrison and Angela DavisâNarrative control strategies drawn from their celebrated writing
Whether you're a DEI practitioner navigating corporate pushback, an employee experiencing equity rollbacks, or a leader committed to sustainable inclusion, this handbook provides battle-tested strategies for preserving workplace equityâeven in hostile environments.
This isn't just about surviving the backlash. It's about reimagining workplaces where everyone thrives.
