    About this audiobook

    Short on time? Or maybe you’ve already read the book, but need a refresh on the most important takeaways. In a quick, easy listen, you can take the main principles from White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism!

    The phrase “white fragility” has grown into a term that many people have accepted and referenced when talking about the defensiveness and discomfort a white person feels when talking about race. The term, originally coined in a 2011 article by Robin DiAngelo, is now used in various articles, books, TV shows, and more. Although it’s commonly heard, not many people truly understand what it means.

    Her book aims to create a dialogue about race despite the white fragility that Americans feel when confronted with that topic. The book, published in 2018, has gained strong reviews because it explores race in-depth and attempts to break down those walls that white people have built in order to protect themselves from acknowledging their race and the benefits it gives them in life. The book debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List. 

    DiAngelo is the two-time winner of the Student’s Choice Award for Educator of the Year at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work. Aside from her White Fragility book, DiAngelo has numerous other publications and books under her belt.

    This audiobook encapsulates key takeaways found in the original book. We’ve also provided an in-depth analysis as well as removing any fluff to save you hours of your time. If you’ve read the original, then this audio summary will help you solidify the most important lessons.

      I thought it was excellent to have this summary of this Book. That said, I don't think the book would be that great so I give the summary five stars and the book two stars.

      I didn’t find this abbreviated version insightful at all. If these are the key takeaways, I don’t want to read the book.

      The book makes some good points, but there are a lot of generalizations and assumptions that aren't explained and are not necessarily true. Perhaps I need to read the full book. Maybe things are explained better there.

      To be part of the solution of the systemic racism that George Floyd's death has so clearly illustrated, white Americans must turn a mirror on ourselves and be willing to wade into uncomfortable waters.

      Helpful. Putting words to racism feels so deeply rooted that being able to even discuss it is like learning a new language. Thanks for the help.

      The notion of white fragility needs more validation and acknowledgment from white people.

      Awesome Summary! Although it was a summary, very detailed !
    • 5/5
      Good to hear a summary of this work and to know how willing the author is to acknowledge her racism and discomfort around issues of race. and the time she has put in to educate herself on her own racial biases. A good opening for me to now read the book.

      This was an excellent review of White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo

      Perhaps focusing on the solution, "Loving one another" is far too simplistic since that book was already written and readily available. Yes, a white women blaming white people for a black persons actions, good or bad, caused by my whiteness will certainly sell more books. FYI, Dr Martin Luther King was black. He advocated to "Judge a man not by his color but by his actions..." Clearly you miss the point .
