Nice Racism

How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm

2022 || Paperback || Robin DiAngelo || Veltman Distributie Import Books

Racism is not a simple matter of good people versus bad. In White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo explained how racism is a system into which all white people are socialized.
