Synopsis

“I was taught to treat everyone the same.” “I don’t see color.” “My parents voted for Obama.” When white people have the opportunity to think and talk about race and racism, they more often than not don’t know how. In this adaptation of Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s bestselling book White Fragility, anti-racist educators Toni Graves Williamson and Ali Michael explain the concept of systemic racism to young adults and how to recognize it in themselves and the world around them. Along the way, Williamson and Michael provide tools for taking action to challenge systems of inequity and racism as they move into adulthood. Throughout the book, listeners will find the following: · A dialogue between the adaptors that models anti-racist discussions · Definitions of key terms · Personal stories from this multiracial team · Discussion prompts to encourage listeners to journal their reactions and feelings · Illustrations to help concepts of white fragility and systemic racism come alive · Portraits of scholars and activists, including Carol Anderson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Ijeoma Oluo, whose work is amplified throughout Dr. DiAngelo’s theory of white fragility.

Goodreads review by Amelia on August 19, 2022

The best book/adaptation I've read on race as a white person so far! Toni Graves Williamson and Ali Michael bring an important YA voice to Robin DiAngelo's "White Fragility". As a white person in my 20s, this approach really worked for me but anyone 18+ could and should read this. I listened to this......more

Goodreads review by Crystal on August 22, 2022

Absolutely buying a copy for my 11 year old! He's biracial in a mostly white school. I foresee him struggling to understand situations and explain things to himself, his friends or his teachers and hope this gives him needed tools. While the focus of this book is growing in being an anti-racist, and......more

Quotes

With this adaptation, Williamson (who is Black) and Michael (who is White) do far more than edit DiAngelo’s text; they take its fundamental concepts and thoughtfully contextualize them…
