ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo explores the discomfort and defensiveness white people experience when their ideas about race and racism are challenged. This book examines how this fragility reinforces racial inequality by preventing open and honest conversations about race. The author, a white woman, shares her experiences leading diversity workshops and highlights how white progressives, despite good intentions, can perpetuate racism due to their defensiveness and certitude. White Fragility analyzes how white people are socialized to see themselves as individuals, often failing to recognize their own biases and privileges within a system of white supremacy.
