In this new and cutting-edge book, we extend and expand the concept of microinterventions to include their role in nullifying the harmful impact of macroaggressions directed toward marginalized groups in our society. Although we primarily use racial bias as an example, it is important to note that women, LGBTQ individuals, people with disabilities, and other socially devalued groups in our society can also experience unfair and biased institutional policies and practices. Many of these anti-bias strategies seem equally applicable to combat sexism, heterosexism, ableism, and classism as well.
