About the author: quoting from the book's back cover, "[Dr.] Robin Diangelo is an academic lecturer, and author and has been a consultant and trainer on issues of racial and social justice for than twenty years. She formerly served as a tenured professor of multicultural education at the Westfield State University." Michael Eric Dyson said of this work, "[It is] a vital, necessary and beautiful book, a bracing call to white folk everywhere to see their whiteness for what it is and to seize the opportunity to make things better now." This book includes a list of Resources for Continuing Educations and has chapter notes. Yikies! I have a strong suspicion Ms. Di'Angelo wouldn't even let the Pope claim not to be a participant in White Racism, because, if I understand her correctly, like it or not, it comes with the territory of being white. I see her point though, that it is often the folks trying the hardest not to be a part of the problem who'll refuse to look at how they might be. (Notice I seem to leave myself out of that statement?) Like all the folks she talks to in her seminars, I'm pretty sure I would resist being presumed a white racist, but I'm open to taking a closer look at my assumptions and assess possible unwitting micro-aggressions. I think this book is a must read for any white person willing to change, willing to learn, or willing to listen. For me, it better defined what racism is so I know what to listen to and how to listen. This isn't a book dedicated to racism though, it's all about white people. It defines our "fragility", teaches us to actually think about race, and even gives some skills and tips on how to listen. I've heard the argument that white people shouldn't learn about racism from white people. I think those people haven't read this book. This is about the white role in racism and how to disrupt that. Trust me, start here, then continue your education with the thousands of other books, blogs, podcasts, videos, etc. But never stop learning, never stop trying to make this world a better place.
CHOTINER: So you consider yourself a racist right now? DiANGELO: Yes. I will always have a racist worldview and biases. The way I look at it is I’m really clear that I do less harm than I used to. I perpetrate that racism less often. I’m not defensive at all when I realize—whether myself or it’s been brought to my attention—that I’ve just perpetrated a piece of it. I have really good repair skills. None of those are small things because they mean I do less harm. Prix et récompensesDistinctionsListes notables

HTML: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.
