Beginning with an analysis of the conditions that allowed anti-DEI hysteria to thrive and concluding with chapters on self-care and guidance for sustaining equity work, these writers reclaim their narratives and the path forward for healing. A necessary read for diversity practitioners, university administrators, and graduate students, this book acknowledges the dignity denied DEI leaders and affirms that both their work and their humanity matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren L.
