The
New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions
white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how
these reactions maintain racial inequality.
In this “vital, necessary, and
beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly
illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand
racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring
to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white
fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by
behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn,
function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful
cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how
white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do
to engage more constructively.
