"White Fragility" explores the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged. Robin DiAngelo examines the dynamics that allow white people to evade honest engagement with race issues. DiAngelo illuminates white fragility, explores its development and how it protects racial inequality, and suggests constructive engagement strategies. It argues that this fragility reinforces systemic racism and hinders progress towards racial equity, providing a framework for understanding these behaviors and offering guidance on productive conversations about race.
