ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo explores the dynamics of racism and the defensive responses many white people exhibit when confronted with issues of race. The book delves into the concept of "white fragility," describing how white individuals, insulated from racial stress, often react with anger, guilt, or denial when challenged on their racial biases. DiAngelo examines the historical and systemic roots of racism, focusing on how it is perpetuated through social and institutional power. Through personal anecdotes and research, the book encourages white people to engage in critical self-reflection and ongoing education to combat racial inequality.
