A Radical Moderate’s review of White Fragility

Robin DiAngelo published White Fragility in 2018. It was notable amongst other things by the willingness to dispense NLP101’s caution about ‘generalisations, omissions and distortions’ and to explicitly generalise about ‘white people’, based on the invisible power and unconsciousness of systems. Amiel Handelsman writes the best review I’ve seen on the book, in two parts. Part One looks for its truth and value; Part Two looks at its weaknesses. Here are the links to read these fairly short analytical reviews. Very informative.
