Complaint!

This book is really excellent, and will be familiar (and healing) to anyone who has been through institutional betrayal or the unnecessary trauma of having to make a complaint. Highly recommended.

Great for those experiencing bullying, harassment, discrimination and abuse of power as well as for those who want to be upstanders and allies for the victims of these abuses of power.Great for diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism professionals too!Grateful human resources professionals who want to do their job with an equity lens, instead of perpetuating the status quo approach which enables abuses of power.It is mind-stretching and very very valuable. It got me to look at things from different angles than I'm used to. These insides will make my walk as a diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism professional much more effective. 👍Thank you very much for this great work! Sarah Ahmed! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾👏🏾

What comes to mind when we hear someone complains? What do those assumptions reveal about ourselves, and the institutions that raise us?There’s a lot to learn from paying attention to people’s complaints, and just as much to learn from paying attention to whose complaints are not heard.This book explores those ideas to a profound depth and if you think that sounds interesting id recommend this book to you.

A smart analysis of what it means to speak up in higher education and the consequences for doing so. A must read for administrators and faculty interested in equitable and necessary change in any institution.

Painfully accurate. Both triggering and validating. Great work by Ahmed.

I tried to like this book but it was long winded and dull. I don't disagree with the book's premise, but the text could help cure insomnia. A real snooze. Lack of realistic examples makes this book unrelatable.
