The smaller forms and instances of bigotry have a big impact on individuals' lives, because such microaggressions have a cumulative effect over time. Nadal (psychology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York) aims to arm members of the LGBT community with information, as well as educate professionals and the general public. He does so by presenting a brief history of LGBT civil rights and a review of microaggression literature, followed by detailed accounts of the experiences of LGBT individuals in a range of contexts. The concluding chapters are on the processes of dealing with microaggression and what individuals, families, schools, and businesses can do to manage and minimize this form of damage.
