White Fragility / Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria / So You Want to Talk About Race Reviews
-
A awesome non-fiction writing. Tells how some white people are so fragile that when confronted with racism they get very defensive. The author gives many examples on how to confront racism when you see it and within yourself. her main argument is that we need to be open to learning, that we are all a product of a society that is racist in nature and we must work hard to reflect upon our actions and thoughts to root out racism.

Tatum looks at self-segregation in schools as not necessarily a problem but diagnoses the coping strategies for people of color in regards to race and racial identities. Originally written in 1997, many of the themes remain relevant. Very informative but quite dense at times, it wasn't the easiest book to read and stay engaged by.

I think I already wrote a review on this book, so I'll keep this short. I was informed by it.
