AWW22 Nice Racism - Robin DiAngelo

Chaired by Paul Barclay.


The title of Robin DiAngelo’s last international bestseller
entered the lexicon: White Fragility, describing the defensive
response from White people when called out for things they have
said or done that have caused unintended racial hurt or offence.
In Nice Racism, Robin draws on her background as a sociologist
and an educator to explain how well-intentioned White
progressives can cause racial harm, whether by romanticising
People of Colour or expecting them to educate. An important if
uncomfortable discussion on how to be a true ally.
