Robin DiAngelo writes non-fiction about race, whiteness and the behaviour of white people in discussions of racism. White Fragility argues that social insulation from racial stress can produce defensive reactions when white people are challenged about race, and examines responses such as withdrawal, argument and claims of individual innocence within a broader social system. Nice Racism focuses more specifically on patterns DiAngelo identifies among white progressives, including forms of behaviour that may preserve racial inequality while appearing polite or well-intentioned. Her books are argumentative, workshop-influenced and written for general readers rather than as neutral surveys of the academic literature; they present a particular framework for interpreting interpersonal and institutional racism. They fit race studies, social-justice non-fiction and workplace discussion books, and are best read alongside other perspectives on racism, inequality and anti-racist practice. Read more Less
