Synopsis

In this book I argue against inclusion. Rather than promoting diversity, I contend that inclusion diminishes human diversity, brutalizes human diversity, and, ultimately, destroys human diversity. Nothing about inclusion is good for human diversity. Inclusion assumes that in order for us to thrive collectively, our differences must be tamed, sanitized, and harmonized. Inclusion must come first, meaning that diversity must always yield to the demands of inclusion. However, in destroying diversity, inclusion protects the status quo by promoting conformity and homogeneity. The diversity that inclusion champions is nothing but a caricature of diversity. It is diversity in name only. It has no capacity or yearning to disrupt or renew anything. Its only ambition is to be included and affirmed. I treat inclusion as a hegemon—a vast system of values, beliefs, fears, structures, and practices that imposes and sustains a certain set of supposed truths about the human experience. I aim to demystify this hegemon, specifically the implications and consequences that come with this hegemon.
