The National Book Award winning history of how racist ideas were created, spread, and deeply rooted in American society.
âAn engrossing and relentless intellectual history of prejudice in America.â âWashington Post
Some Americans insist that weâre living in a post-racial society. But racist thought is not just alive and well in Americaâit is more sophisticated and more insidious than ever.
In this deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-Black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. As Kendi shows, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched racist policies and the nationâs racial inequities.
In shedding light on this history, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking and, in the process, gives us reason to hope.
