Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves

The book challenges readers to make changes, or pivots, in the ways we think, act, work, and connect.

Dr. Ginwright's work has been focused on helping people heal from oppression and structural inequality. His research and outreach have been dedicated to fixing these harms and moving forward with a new purpose. However, in his latest book, The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves, Dr. Ginwright provides a different look at the healing process. In this book, he challenges readers to focus on restoring their humanity to achieve better activism and stronger collective leadership.

The Pivots

awareness

Awareness

Lens to Mirror

This pivot encourages better self-awareness by switching our view from a lens, or external focus, to a mirror for honest self-reflection. With deeper self-awareness, we can better contribute to the world we want to create.

connection

Connection

Transactional to Transformative Relationships

This pivot challenges us to create more meaning-centered, transformative relationships that draw on our ability to care and be vulnerable.

vision

Vision

From Problem-Fixing to Possibility-Creating

This pivot requires a new way to engage in radical solutions. Instead of staying stuck in the rut of solving problems, Ginwright encourages us to consider what we want to see and dream up ways to achieve this new world.

presence

Presence

From Hustle to Flow

This last pivot addresses how exhausting fighting for justice and healing past wrongs is physically and mentally, individually and collectively. Dr. Ginwright urges social justice workers to cultivate spaces of solitude, reflection, and vision. This is done by ignoring society's emphasis on productivity and establishing boundaries for well-being.
