Microaggressions in Everyday Life

Microaggressions in Everyday Life, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that introduces the concept of microaggressions, classifies their types, and presents solutions across individual, group, and community levels. It distinguishes microaggressions from macroaggressions and examines subtle racism, sexism, and heterosexism.

The volume details the negative effects of covert bias on the wellbeing, self-esteem, and living standards of marginalized groups. It also evaluates how these behaviors psychologically influence both targets and perpetrators.

Prepared for students, faculty, and practitioners in psychology, education, and social work, each chapter concludes with a section titled "The Way Forward." This feature provides guidelines, strategies, and interventions to address and eliminate microaggressions.
