I really got a lot out of ‘White Fragility’ by Robin DiAngelo, so I was very excited for this one.
Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations in terms of what I was looking for. It felt repetitive of the content in the previous book and I felt like I was going through the same things over and over. Furthermore, I am aware that even though DiAngelo says herself that we must remember to invest in BIPOC’s work and learn from them (if they have space for us), we are taking from her (a white woman).
I’m giving this a 3 out of 5 stars. Thank you ✨

A little more autobiographical and felt as if its intention was to out woke White Fragility. Still very good and a necessary read
EDIT - upped my review to 5 stars because I read some of the BS reviews before. I think a lot of people are missing the point here.

It was hard not to envision Robin is not also cocooned in her fantasy of being a Nice Progressive. I mean she didn't do what she keeps saying she should in the book, ask Black people what she should do first.
I can't imagine who she thinks her audience for this book would be, because every white person would have been defensive by her patronizing and holier than thou tone way before the end.
I did find it hugely informative, even though I also found myself sick of her by the end, which makes me wonder about my own blind spots.
4 stars for the content, in a "know thy enemy" kind of way

Fellow white people: here's another opportunity to dive in, work on ourselves, find solutions, and stop spreading pain around. End of the book contains a useful study guide with questions for reflection and/or discussion for every chapter.

More of her thoughts about how white people need to think more and do better when confronting racism. We progressives can do things so wrong!! I especially liked how she made sure she is not the hero of the story. I continue to learn…

Addresses the gaps in her earlier book. Still jarring to see herself so often referenced but it's to expose error. Definitely for those with some experience already thinking/learning about their place in white supremacy, I think to use it in a group would require a skilled facilitator and a commitment to accountability. But worthwhile and with good resources inside.
