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), antiracist 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.

Protecting the Self, Protecting White Supremacy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Historically, research connected to social justice has focused on the experiences, challenges, and strengths of individuals on the margins (Jamel, 2017). Only more recently has research begun to address individuals of relative privilege who exert power over marginalized groups and may perpetuate the current system of straight White male hegemony. White fragility is one concept through which the internal operations of a relatively privileged group may be explored. White Fragility resembles psychological defense mechanisms (e.g., projection, denial) in its behavioral manifestation and function. Defensive responses to White privilege also vary by gender. Accordingly, this exploratory study examined whether gender moderated the relationship between psychological defenses and White Fragility. Results of this study may serve as a springboard for further White Fragility research and continued investigation of the processes by which White Americans increase their racial cognizance.

Download and read online ebook Nice White Ladies write by Jessie Daniels. This book was released on 2021-10-12. Nice White Ladies available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. An acclaimed expert illuminates the distinctive role that white women play in perpetuating racism, and how they can work to fight it In a nation deeply divided by race, the “Karens” of the world are easy to villainize. But in Nice White Ladies, Jessie Daniels addresses the unintended complicity of even well-meaning white women. She reveals how their everyday choices harm communities of color. White mothers, still expected to be the primary parents, too often uncritically choose to send their kids to the “best” schools, collectively leading to a return to segregation. She addresses a feminism that pushes women of color aside, and a wellness industry that insulates white women in a bubble of their own privilege. Daniels then charts a better path forward. She looks to the white women who fight neo-Nazis online and in the streets, and who challenge all-white spaces from workplaces to schools to neighborhoods. In the end, she shows how her fellow white women can work toward true equality for all.

Download and read online ebook Protecting Whiteness write by Cameron D. Lippard. This book was released on 2020-12-15. Protecting Whiteness available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch, the rise of white identity activists on college campuses, and the viral growth of white nationalist videos on YouTube vividly illustrate the resurgence of white supremacy and overt racism in the United States. White resistance to racial equality can be subtle as well—like art museums that enforce their boundaries as elite white spaces, “right on crime” policies that impose new modes of surveillance and punishment for people of color, and environmental groups whose work reinforces settler colonial norms. In this incisive volume, twenty-four leading sociologists assess contemporary shifts in white attitudes about racial justice in the US. Using case studies, they investigate the entrenchment of white privilege in institutions, new twists in anti-equality ideologies, and “whitelash” in the actions of social movements. Their examinations of new manifestations of racist aggression help make sense of the larger forces that underpin enduring racial inequalities and how they reinvent themselves for each new generation.
