What does this ZIP Reads Summary Include? Synopsis of the original book Chapter-by-Chapter Summaries Key Takeaways from each chapter How racism is pervasive in American society How to identify common, yet subtle racist behaviors Advice to help fight systemic racism on a personal level Editorial Review Background on the author About the Original Book: In White Fragility: Why It's so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, Robin DiAngelo explains how white people misunderstand the concept of racism and therefore, refuse to talk about it openly. She uses her experience as a diversity trainer to explain how America is inherently racist and that all white people must be courageous enough to see their complicity in the racist system. White Fragility digs deep into white culture and history to reveal some hidden facets of white society that many wouldn't openly expose. DiAngelo's goal is to show white people how racism works at an individual level so that they can understand just how damaging it is to society as a whole--and hopefully, so they can fix it. D
