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 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 meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

Incredible book, unfitting narration
Reviewed: 02-19-19
The book was insightful, impactful, and so important, but I almost gave up several times because the narration sounded like a sleep hypnosis meditation. I would love for this to be rerecorded with more affect.
