"Non sono razzista, ma" illustra un meccanismo psicologico tanto elementare quanto diffuso, che mira a prendere le distanze dalle parole e dagli atti che ci tradiscono e contraddicono ciò che pensiamo di essere, o che magari vogliamo far intendere di essere. Ma ormai è entrata in crisi l'interdizione morale nei confronti di parole e atti xenofobi, che aveva costituito una sorta di presidio linguistico e culturale, ma anche sociale e politico, rispetto al ricorso a pratiche di esclusione e discriminazione.

This leaves well-meaning allies feeling stuck, frustrated, and afraid of getting it wrong. Beyond Fragility fills this gap by providing a step-by-step approach to effective anti-racism allyship.
