White Fatigue: Rethinking Resistance for Social Justice explores
how, despite the pleas and research of critical scholars, what
passes for multicultural education in schools is often promotion of
human relations and tolerance rather than a sustained critical
examination of how race and racism shape social, political,
economic, and educational opportunities for various groups, both
historically and currently. Simultaneously, our nation's social
mores have changed over time and millions of White Americans find
racism morally reprehensible. This book illustrates that despite
that shift, it is not uncommon to experience White Americans-in
classrooms and other spaces-struggling to understand how racism
functions. This struggle is often talked about as White resistance,
White guilt, and White fragility. White fatigue is an idea that
helps explain and differentiate this struggle for better
understanding among White folks who feel racism is wrong but do not
yet have an understanding of how racism functions. White Fatigue:
Rethinking Resistance for Social Justice ultimately argues that if
we are to advance our national conversation on race, educators must
be willing to define reactions to conversations about race with
more nuances, lest we alienate potential allies, accomplices, and
leaders in the fight against racial injustice.
