{"product_id":"calling-in","title":"Calling In","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom a pioneering Black feminist and MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, an urgent and exhilarating memoir-manifesto-handbook about how to rein in the excesses of cancel culture so we can truly communicate and solve problems together.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1979, Loretta Ross was a single mother who’d had to drop out of Howard University. She was working at Washington, DC’s Rape Crisis Center when she 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. But instead, she made a different choice, a choice to reject the response her trauma was pushing her towards, a choice that set her on the path towards developing a philosophy that would come to guide her whole career: rather than calling people out, try to call even your unlikeliest allies\u003ci\u003e in\u003c\/i\u003e. Hold them accountable—but do so with love.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCalling In\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a handbook, a manifesto, and a memoir—because the power of Loretta Ross’s message comes from who she is and what she’s lived through. She’s a Black woman who’s deprogrammed white supremacists, a survivor who’s taught convicted rapists the principles of feminism. With stories from her five remarkable decades in activism, she vividly illustrates why calling people\u003ci\u003e in\u003c\/i\u003e—inviting them into conversation instead of conflict by 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCourageous, awe-inspiring, and blisteringly authentic, \u003ci\u003eCalling In\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical new solution from one of our country’s 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.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54249059942744,"sku":"9781982190798","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781982190798_3d66b02b-354e-4d70-8144-2808911a2ffb.jpg?v=1771056040","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/calling-in","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
