The second book from Robin DiAngelo, "Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm," isn’t selling as fiercely as its predecessor.
Both DiAngelo's "White Fragility" and Ibram X. Kendi's "How to Be an Antiracist" sold tens of thousands of copies each, last summer, in the aftermath of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis.
This revelation comes from Eric Nelson. Someone in the know as an executive editor at Broadside Books.
“Robin DiAngelo's last book sold over a million copies. Her new debuted with about 3500 sold the first week. That's pretty interesting.”
