Opis

White Fatigue: Rethinking Resistance for Social Justice ultimately argues that if we are to advance our national conversation on race then educators must be willing to define reactions to conversations about race with more nuances, lest we alienate potential allies, accomplices, and leaders in the fight against racial injustice.

"The concept of white fatigue is an important contribution to creating a more nuanced understanding of the challenges of educating white students about racism. White Fatigue offers helpful context and pedagogical considerations for supporting the development of white allies for racial justice."-Diane J. Goodman, Trainer, Consultant, and Author of Promoting Diversity and Social Justice: Educating People from Privileged Groups, Second Edition (2011)
