A practical, inspiring roadmap for changing the conversation on social justice issues. 'Not all men'. 'I don't see colour'. 'To play devil's advocate...'. 'Climate change is coming'. From the persistent to the insidious, too often, antagonistic responses threaten to distract and derail the most urgent conversations. Tackling twenty of the most enduring conversation-stoppers, this book equips readers with the knowledge, tools and context to respond with confidence. Alongside other trailblazing writers, educators and advocates, acclaimed campaigner Gina Martin helps us to unpick these phrases, understand why they are harmful and feel empowered enough to change the conversation.
