Queen Elizabeth II was not able to deliver her annual speech at the State Opening of Parliament for the first time in more than fifty years due to her disabilities. This highlights the difficulty of welcoming and accepting people with disabilities in every room, even someone who was arguably the most powerful and beloved person in the United Kingdom. It is often argued that overt racism in America and around the world increased after Barack Obama was elected president. Systemic exclusion is a serious problem in the world, and it is our inability to recognize it that perpetuates the lack of justice. To fight for inclusion and justice, we need to identify and name the exclusion, listen and learn about the issues, understand our role in them, form a coalition, take action, and consolidate progress.

This book offers some guidelines to help us create a more just society. Radical inclusion is the only way to experience justice in the world.

Introduction

The Need for Radical Inclusion

In 2004, a teenager from Sierra Leone boarded his first international flight to Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire. He had received a scholarship to attend the Red Cross Nordic United World College in Norway, which is one of eighteen schools on four continents that bring students together from all over the world. The 151-mile route between the two cities was filled with roadblocks manned by armed rebels. After arriving in Abidjan, the teen felt like an outsider, but was helped at every turn. The Red Cross Nordic United World College is one of eighteen schools on four continents that bring students together from all over the world, and the teen chose to go to Norway because it was so different from Sierra Leone.

The narrator was often the only Sierra Leonean in the queues at the border control kiosks during their travels to and from Europe. They were often pulled aside for extra questioning, but eventually realized that different wasn't always pleasant. They tried to turn these stressful interrogations into learning opportunities, which would come in handy when they matriculated at Harvard College in 2006 and pursued graduate studies at MIT before moving to Nairobi, Kenya. The author was a young, Black Sierra Leonean man who studied biomechatronics in Norway, the United States, Kenya, and South Africa. He was invited to co-host TEDMED at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., but was accosted by a drunk on the street.

He felt angry, humiliated, and scared for his safety, but one of his friends intervened and scared him away. He realized that he was far from alone. The last few years have seen a number of stories about the world's social inequities, such as Black people protesting racial injustices in America and Great Britain. Debates about inclusion and equity have led to major political shifts, and far-right groups have become increasingly visible and influential. Systemic exclusion persists and is deepened by the widening socioeconomic disparities that exist in all societies, and social media provides a platform for the most extreme views.

If not addressed, systemic exclusion will continue to divide us, leaving us ever more vulnerable to global crises. This book discusses the importance of the fight against exclusion and its associated inequities. It argues that teams perform better when they are diverse, and that exclusion levies emotional, financial, social, and other costs that affect not just those who are excluded, but those who exclude and work to keep that exclusion in place. Code-switching is a temporary solution to a permanent problem, but it can carry a high emotional cost. The author explains that code-switching is often necessary for survival, but it can carry a high emotional cost.
