Book Description
As a child, Georgia Lucas was always fascinated by stories about Indians and liked to play school, but it was not until she married and had three children that she became a certified bilingual teacher and headed west from Indiana to teach Indians. Her unique experiences emerge from teaching first grade, junior high, high school, and college level Indian students. While employed at a high school, Lucas also became writer and coordinator of Title I projects for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. During her 22 years of teaching, Lucas was the recipient of several teaching awards and was featured in Who's Who Among American Teachers in 1996. In "White Woman in a Red Man's World", Lucas expounds her philosophy of teaching with the belief that teachers' accurate assessments of students' needs, well devised lesson plans, and skillful presentations add to the legitimacy of the teaching profession just as well conceived diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatments give legitimacy to the medical profession. Her inspiration books includ "The Hanging of Hiram the Hoss, a historical novel, and In Spite Of Cancer, an inspirational book for cancer victims and families. -- back cover.

Book Description
The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
