This book is designed to awaken the mind of all people, young Americans in particular, with pertinent knowledge to broaden their scope on what America contends to be in comparison to what America is all about. It is apparent that the young people in America are destined to become its eventual leaders, and it is important that these young people are qualified to render proper decisions, restructure, and implement the constitutional policies as written in the constitution of the USA and to assure that this nation is governed by full instead of partial democracy. That this shall be a nation composed of nationalities, not races; that it must be made clear to all that the only existing race is the human race—no black, no white, no red or yellow. Can this be done? Of course it can and will be done!

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

In this treasury of over 1,000 quotes, you will find--in the voices of Langston Hughes and the Delany sisters, for example--some of the bittersweet humor that has helped sustain blacks in this country through their long, oppressive history....Melba Patillo Beals--almost forty years after she risked death as a teenager to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas--writes in her heart-wrenching memoir of that experience: "The task that remains is to cope with our interdependence--to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences." That is the message of this book. (from back cover).

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.
