She was working at Washington, DC’s Rape Crisis Center when she got a letter from a man in prison expressing his desire to learn how not to be a rapist anymore. Initially, she was furious. As a survivor of sexual violence, she wanted to write back pouring out her rage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut 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 guide her entire career. Rather than calling people out, she aimed to call even her unlikeliest allies \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003e. She held them accountable—but did so with love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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 has lived through. She is a Black woman who has deprogrammed white supremacists and a survivor who has taught convicted rapists the principles of feminism. With stories from her five remarkable decades in activism, she vividly illustrates why calling people \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003e—inviting them into conversation instead of conflict by focusing on shared values over a desire for punishment—is the more strategic choice if you want to make real change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe shows you how to do so, whether in the workplace, on a college campus, or in your living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46078998085868,"sku":"9781982190798","price":56.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781982190798.jpg?v=1736292435","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/calling-in-by-loretta-j-ross-9781982190798","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
