Reinventing Racism

This critical examination of white fragility theory offers a rigorous academic challenge to one of the most influential concepts in contemporary racial discourse. Church systematically dissects the theory's core premises, arguing that it has been widely accepted without the substantive scrutiny typically afforded to academic frameworks. The book positions itself as a necessary corrective, applying logical analysis and evidentiary standards to claims about racial discomfort and conversation avoidance.

What distinguishes this work is its methodical approach to deconstructing a dominant social narrative, making it particularly valuable for readers seeking alternative perspectives on anti-racism education. Students of sociology and critical race theory will find compelling arguments about how concepts like white fragility may inadvertently reinforce the racial dynamics they aim to address. This thoughtful critique ultimately pushes beyond surface-level debates to question how we frame discussions about racism itself.
