Book Recommendation


 "Nice Racism" by Robin DiAngelo is one of the best books for white progressives. She provides concrete examples where I immediately recognized myself and my problematic behaviors.

This is the book if you're interested in understanding the complex dynamics of race and progressivism. It is a provocative and insightful book challenging the notion that well-intentioned progressives are immune from perpetuating racial harm. DiAngelo, known for her influential work on white fragility, delves into how white progressives—often with the best of intentions—can unintentionally contribute to the very problems they aim to address. By exploring the nuances of how progressive attitudes can sometimes lead to harmful outcomes for people of color, Nice Racism provides a critical perspective that’s essential for anyone looking to engage more thoughtfully in antiracist work.
