Terms & Conditions: The Fine Print to an Anti-Racist Society

Do you read the fine print?

Did you accept the Terms & Conditions of our society?

In Terms & Conditions: The Fine Print to an Anti-Racist Society, Dr. Kiara Butler marries first-hand experiences navigating systems of oppression as a Black, same-gender-loving woman with concrete examples of how we’ve blindly accepted the terms and conditions of our society. Grounded in scholarly research, Dr. Butler examines how societal messaging and norms in the United States shape our attitudes and behaviors through four dimensions: Power, Empathy, Relationships, and Mindset (PERM). Using the PERM Cultural Competence Framework, Dr. Butler asks readers to engage in a series of reflective exercises exploring the impact of individual actions on marginalized groups.

Terms & Conditions is the first book of its kind. Regardless of racial and cultural background, it provides readers with two guided resources and one interactive experience designed for personal and collective accountability in hopes of creating an anti-racist society.
