White Fragility

Product Description

Anger. Fear. Guilt. Denial. Silence. These are the ways in which ordinary white people react when it is pointed out to them that they have done or said something that has
- unintentionally
- caused racial offence or hurt.

But these reactions only serve to silence people of colour, who cannot give honest feedback to 'liberal' white people lest they provoke a dangerous emotional reaction.

Robin Di Angelo coined the term ' White Fragility' in 2011 to describe this process & is here to show us how it serves to uphold the system of white supremacy.

Using knowledge & insight gained over decades of running racial awareness workshops & working on this idea as a Professor of Whiteness Studies, she shows us how we can start having more honest conversations, listen to each other better & react to feedback with grace & humility.

It is not enough to simply hold abstract progressive views & condemn the obvious racists on social media
- change starts with us all at a practical, granular level, & it is time for all white people to take responsibility for relinquishing their own racial supremacy.
