By Janine Kovac

In a world that often defines us by our differences, what does it mean to be an "other"?

In her powerful and thought-provoking book, Is An Other, Janine Kovac explores the complex and often contradictory experiences of being an "other." Through personal stories, interviews, and research, Kovac challenges traditional notions of identity and belonging, and offers a powerful vision of a more inclusive and equitable society.

Kovac begins by sharing her own experiences as a biracial woman who grew up in a predominantly white community. She writes about the challenges she faced in reconciling her two identities, and the ways in which she was often made to feel like an outsider.

Kovac's experiences are not unique. In fact, they are shared by millions of people around the world who identify as "other" because of their race, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, or any other number of factors.

Kovac argues that the concept of "otherness" is a social construct that is used to divide and exclude people. She writes, "Otherness is not something that we are born with. It is something that is created and reinforced by our society."

Kovac challenges us to question the ways in which we define and categorize people. She asks us to consider the consequences of our actions and words, and to be more mindful of the ways in which we can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society.

Is An Other is a must-read for anyone who is interested in social justice, diversity, and inclusion. It is a powerful and inspiring book that will challenge your assumptions and open your eyes to the experiences of others.
