From a pioneering Black feminist and MacArthur Genius Fellow, this urgent and exhilarating memoir-manifesto-handbook provides bold, practical new ways to transform conflicts into connections, even with those were tempted to walk away from. nIn 1979, Loretta Ross was a single mother in Washington whod had to drop out of Howard University. She was working at the DC Rape Crisis Center when the organization got a letter from a man in prison saying he wanted to learn how to not be a rapist anymore. At first, she was furious. As a survivor of sexual violence, she wanted to write back pouring out her rage. Instead, she made a different choice, a choice to reject the response her trauma was pushing her towards. This choice would set her on the path towards developing a framework that would come to guide her whole career: Rather than calling people out, try to call even your unlikeliest allies in. Hold them accountable--but with love. n nCalling In is at once a handbook, a manifesto, and a memoir--because the power of Loretta Rosss message comes from who she is and what shes lived through. Shes a Black woman whos deprogrammed white supremacists, and a survivor whos taught convicted rapists the principles of feminism. With stories from her five remarkable decades in activism, she vividly illustrates why calling people in--inviting them into conversation instead of conflict and focusing on your shared values over a desire for punishment--is the more strategic choice if you want to make real change. And she shows you how to do so, whether in the workplace, on a college campus, or in your living room. n nCourageous, awe-inspiring, and blisteringly authentic, Calling In is a masterclass in constructive confrontation (Adam Grant) and a practical new solution from one of our countrys most extraordinary change-makers--one anyone can learn to use to transform frustrating and divisive conflicts that stand in the way of real connection with the people in your life.n
