No More Hate! All Are Welcome!
“Stigma” is a simple two-syllable word, yet it carries the weight
of negative and often unfair beliefs that we hold about those who
are different from us. Stigmas lock people into stereotyped boxes
and deny us all the right to be our authentic and whole selves. Dr.
Pernessa Seele, a longtime public health activist who started one
of the first AIDS education programs in the 1980s, has crafted a
proven method to address stigma. This powerful book confronts
stereotype development, shows how to undo the processes and effects
of stigma, and explains how we can radically change cultural
thinking on the individual, interpersonal, and societal levels to
put an end to stigmatization once and for all.
