Negotiations in At-Risk Communities and Negotiating for Social Justice: A Review of Transformative Negotiation
Abstract
This is a review of Sarah Federman’s new book, Transformative Negotiation: Strategies for Everyday Change and Equitable Futures. The book fills a glaring gap in the negotiation literature by considering the perspective of those in at-risk communities. Pulling from her experience teaching negotiation to at-risk students in Baltimore, Federman addresses blind spots that are overlooked in traditional negotiation texts. This provides a more complete understanding of the diverse applications of negotiation principles. This review praises the book’s insight into overlooked applications of negotiation principles and how they can be used to obtain social justice outcomes. This review also provides a critical analysis of the potential danger of inadvertently promoting harmful stereotypes when addressing issues of gender and race.
