description: In Nice Racism her follow-up work to White Fragility the author draws on her background as a sociologist and over 25 years working as an anti-racist educator picks up where White Fragility left off and moves the conversation forward.Writing directly to white people as a white person DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm. DiAngelo explains how spiritual white progressives seeking community by co-opting Indigenous and other groups rituals create separation not connection. She challenges the ideology of individualism and explains why it is OK to generalize about white people and she demonstrates how white people who experience other oppressions still benefit from systemic racism. Writing candidly about her own missteps and struggles she models a path forward encouraging white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage lifelong commitment and accountability.Includes a study guide.
