ABOUT THE BOOK!
In "White Fragility," Dr. Robin DiAngelo explained how racism is a system into which all white people are socialized and challenged the belief that racism is a simple matter of good people versus bad.
Dr. DiAngelo also made a provocative claim: white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of color.
In "Nice Racism," her follow-up work, she explains how they do so. Drawing on her background as a sociologist and over 25 years working as an anti-racist educator, she picks up where "White Fragility" left off and moves the conversation forward.
Writing directly to white people as a white person, Dr. DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm.
