The one feature that I found most helpful about the organization of the book is that each chapter ends with a section titled The Way Forward. Here, Sue provides compelling insights and interventions to help the reader with ideas regarding what can be done about the issues raised in the chapter. The Way Forward sections in Chapter 11 and 12 are replete with specific examples for educators and mental health practitioners. I found these two sections to be especially strong; if educators and practitioners begin implementing these suggestions, we will make significant strides toward shining a light on, giving a voice to, and perhaps ameliorating microaggressions.\" (\u003ci\u003ePsycCRITIQUES\u003c\/i\u003e, 22 September 2010)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Derald Wing Sue, an expert on discrimination, enlightens on matters like this, in \u003ci\u003eMicroaggressions in Everyday Life: Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation\u003c\/i\u003e.

Sue has developed the first categorization of conscious and intentional actions, slurs and racial epithets, even as unintended slights or social cues, when dominant groups attempt to subordinate minority groups, make them uncomfortable, marginalize and inflict a mental, emotional and even physical toll.
