Renowned diversity trainer Robin DiAngelo can't escape her own whiteness. In this candid memoir, she unpacks the lies, biases, and segregation that have kept her - and millions of other white Americans - from seeing racism all around them. Forced to confront her racial illiteracy, DiAngelo must reckon with her privilege and the daily acts of complicity that maintain an unjust system. Through personal stories and sociological insights, she charts a path toward genuine anti-racism for fellow white people ready to get uncomfortable.
