In the book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, professor Robin DiAngelo explains the phenomenon of white fragility, the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged. Drawing on research and twenty years’ experience as a consultant and trainer on issues of racial and social justice issues, DiAngelo explores how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively. She discusses her own white privilege in a forthright manner that invites the reader to do the same.
