Cross-cultural articles and blogs

This is a collection of potentially useful articles for introducing cross- and intercultural topics, attitudes, and perspectives. These articles are not yet associated with experiential activities. Therefore, caution should be used when sharing these articles with participants, especially for inexperienced practitioners. Some of the content in these articles may be polarizing and without proper context, facilitation, and debriefing may cause participants to shut down, become combative/defensive, or reject ideas intended to foster growth. Use with caution.

White Fragility and Its Critiques

In her 2018 book, White fragility: Why it's so hard for white people to talk about racism, Robin DiAngelo identifies why white people often have negative reactions (anger, fear, guilt, etc.) when asked to challenge their assumptions about race and points out how these negative reactions perpetuate racial injustice. Her arguments have been both lauded -- Ibram X. Kendi recommends it for white readers on his anti-racist reading list -- and criticized. This collection brings together the book and several perspectives on it in hopes of stimulating productive reflection around antiracism.
