White Fragility

White Fragility

Robin DiAngelo, 2019

Overview

This book examines the defensive reactions white people often exhibit when confronted with their role in racial injustice. Anger, fear, guilt, and denial are common responses that can silence people of color. The author, a professor with decades of experience in racial awareness training, defines "White Fragility" as a concept that upholds white supremacy.

The work aims to facilitate more open and honest dialogues about race. It encourages white individuals to move beyond abstract progressive views and actively dismantle racial supremacy at a personal level.
