In this article, we critique the dominant understanding of microaggressions introduced by Derald Wing Sue and his colleagues—what we call the act-based account of microaggressions—by identifying its theoretical and practical shortcomings. On the basis of this critique, we introduce and defend an alternative, ameliorative account of microaggressions, what we call the harm-based account of microaggressions. Instead of understanding microaggressions on the basis of the acts committed by the microaggressing agent, we call for a reorientation of the concept so that the recipients of microaggressions and the harms they experience become the focal point.

迈向基于伤害的微攻击帐户

在本文中，我们通过识别其理论和实践缺陷，批判了 Derald Wing Sue 及其同事引入的对微攻击的主流理解——我们称之为基于行为的微攻击解释。在这种批评的基础上，我们引入并捍卫了一种替代的、改进的微攻击解释，我们称之为基于伤害的微攻击解释。与其根据微攻击主体的行为来理解微攻击，我们呼吁重新定位这一概念，使微攻击的接受者和他们所经历的伤害成为焦点。
