The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.
In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), anti-racist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue.
In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
Racism is not a simple matter of good people versus bad. In White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo explained how racism is a system into which all white people are socialized. She also made a provocative claim: that white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of colour. In Nice Racism, her follow-up work, she explains how they do so.
Drawing on her background as a sociologist and over twenty-five years working as an antiracist educator, she moves the conversation forward. Writing directly to white people as a white person, DiAngelo identifies many common racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm. These patterns include rushing to prove that we are 'not racist'; downplaying white advantage; romanticizing Black, Indigenous and other peoples of colour; pretending white segregation 'just happens'; expecting BIPOC people to teach us about racism; carefulness; and shame. She challenges the ideology of Individualism and explains why it is OK to generalize about white people, and demonstrates how white people who experience other oppressions still benefit from systemic racism. Writing candidly about her own missteps and struggles, she models a path forward, encouraging white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage, lifelong commitment and accountability.
Nice Racism is an essential work for any white person who wants to take steps to align their values with their actual practice, and offers people of colour an 'insider's' perspective which may be helpful for navigating whiteness.
Long before the widespread success of the 2018 book White
Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism,
Robin DiAngelo was breaking with white solidarity and writing,
speaking, and teaching on the relationship among white supremacy,
structural racism, and white identity. In this volume, DiAngelo has
gathered a selection of her groundbreaking works leading up to
White Fragility. Speaking as a white person to her fellow white
people, she seamlessly blends the personal with the political. The
result is an engaging and provocative analysis of the
sociopolitical forces of race that shape our lives. Taking up
familiar ideologies such as individualism and meritocracy, she
breaks down how these concepts function to protect and obscure
structural racism. Collectively, these essays show how racism
infuses our society and its institutions; it is a system that goes
well beyond individual intentions or conscious acts of meanness. By
changing the question from if we are part of systemic racism to how
each of us play a part, DiAngelo's body of work provides a
transformative framework for white identity and antiracist action.

'An indispensable resource for white people who want to challenge
white supremacy but don't know where to begin' Robin DiAngelo,
author of New York Times bestseller WHITE FRAGILITY 'It should be
mandatory reading ... Buy the book, do the work and then push more
copies into the hands of everyone you know' Emma Gannon
'Confrontational and much-needed' Stylist 'She is no-joke changing
the world and, for what it's worth, the way I live my life.' Anne
Hathaway ___________ Me and White Supremacy shows readers how to
dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop
(often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of colour, and in
turn, help other white people do better, too. When Layla Saad began
an Instagram challenge called #MeAndWhiteSupremacy, she never
predicted it would spread as widely as it did. She encouraged
people to own up and share their racist behaviours, big and small.
She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people
participated, and over 90,000 people downloaded the book. The
updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper
by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving
stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions,
examples, and further resources. Awareness leads to action, and
action leads to change. The numbers show that readers are ready to
do this work - let's give it to them.

In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race
meaningless yet is deeply divided by race? In the face of pervasive
racial inequality and segregation, most whites cannot answer that
question. Robin DiAngelo argues that a number of factors make this
question difficult for whites miseducation about what racism is;
ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; defensiveness;
and a need to protect (rather than expand) our worldviews. These
factors contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy.
Speaking as a white person to other white people, Dr. DiAngelo
clearly and compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white
socialization. She describes how race shapes the lives of white
people, explains what makes racism so hard for whites to see,
identifies common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular
white narratives that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible
introduction to white identity from an anti-racist framework, What
Does It Mean To Be White? is an invaluable resource for members of
diversity and anti-racism programs and study groups and students of
sociology, psychology, education, and other disciplines.
What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race
meaningless, yet is deeply divided by race? In the face of
pervasive racial inequality and segregation, most white people
cannot answer that question. In the second edition of this seminal
text, Robin DiAngelo reveals the factors that make this question so
difficult: mis-education about what racism is; ideologies such as
individualism and colorblindness; segregation; and the belief that
to be complicit in racism is to be an immoral person. These factors
contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy. Speaking as a
white person to other white people, DiAngelo clearly and
compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white
socialization. Weaving research, analysis, stories, images, and
familiar examples, she provides the framework needed to develop
white racial literacy. She describes how race shapes the lives of
white people, explains what makes racism so hard to see, identifies
common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular narratives
that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible overview on
white identity from an anti-racist framework, What Does It Mean to
Be White? is an invaluable resource for members of diversity and
anti-racism programs and study groups, and students of sociology,
psychology, education, and other disciplines. This revised edition
features two new chapters, including one on DiAngelo's influential
concept of white fragility. Written to be accessible both within
and without academia, this revised edition also features discussion
questions, an index, and a glossary.
