Abstract:
"Long before the mainstream success of the 2018 book White Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism, Robin DiAngelo was breaking with white solidarity and writing, speaking, and teaching on the relationship between white supremacy, structural racism, and white identity. Indeed, the book White Fragility was based on an earlier academic article published in 2011. In this volume, she has gathered a selection of the earlier works leading up to White Fragility. Consistently speaking as a white person to her fellow white people, DiAngelo seamlessly blends the personal with the political. The result is an engaging and provocative analysis of the socio-political forces of race that shape all of our lives"-- Provided by publisher.
