Reviews"A rare and incisive examination of the system of white body supremacy that binds us all as Americans. . . . With authenticity and clarity, she provides the antidote to white fragility and a road map for developing white racial stamina and humility. White Fragility loosens the bonds of white supremacy and binds us back together as human beings." --Resmaa Menakem, author of My Grandmother's Hands and Rock the Boat "This remarkable book encourages folks to embrace a more deeply nuanced exploration of white culture and dominance and, as such, will be a great contribution in promoting the necessary policy change and healing that this country requires. Dr. DiAngelo's work in deconstructing whiteness is not only brilliant, it is written in a way that is crystal clear and accessible to each and every reader. . . . It is also an invitation to engage in deep personal inquiry and collective change. . . . An essential tool towards authentic dialogue and action." --Shakti Butler, president of World Trust and director of Mirrors of Privilege: Making Whiteness Visible "As powerful forces of white racism again swell, DiAngelo invites white progressives to have a courageous conversation about their culture of complicity. . . . White Fragility provides important antiracist understanding and essential strategies for well-intentioned white people who truly endeavor to be a part of the solution." --Glenn E. Singleton, author of Courageous Conversations About Race "Robin DiAngelo demonstrates an all-too-rare ability to enter the racial conversation with complexity, nuance, and deep respect. Her writing establishes her mastery in accessing the imaginal, metaphoric mind where the possibility for transformation resides. With an unwavering conviction that change is possible, her message is clear: the incentive for white engagement in racial justice work is ultimately self-liberation." --Leticia Nieto, coauthor of Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment

SynopsisThe 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.

MUST READ! PDFs RoCk!
Excellent book that is very popular right now! A MUST READ for us white folks who need to better understand what black people have been enduring for sooooo very long. The PDF format is not as "user friendly" as a proper e-book, but for the great price it gets the job done! Happy to be able to read this book right away since every library I checked with had long wait lists for this very compelling & timely book, in any format.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Necessary Reading!!!!
This is one of the most important books I have read in years. It puts the issues on the table and gives any white person a reality check on their language and assumptions. Well written and not at all preachy. This book deserves time and attention by everyone.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Cult Classic
You should read this book to better understand current left political ideology. Karen DiAngelo is less contradictory than Ibram Kendi (read that too) and is a great start before getting into the roots with post-modernism, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, etc. MLK would be disappointed in Karen, but still a great read!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Awful book with bad ideas
I bought this book to understand the hype. What a joke. Based on this book, being alive is sufficient to make someone a racist. Don’t waste your time or money.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
