The National Book Award winning history of how racist ideas are made, spread, and deeply rooted in American society.
In this deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-black racist ideas and they staggering power over the course of American history. He uses the life story of five major American intellectuals to drive this history: Puritan minister Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrisone abolitionist, W.E.B. Du Bois, and legendary activist Angela Davis.
As Kendi shows, ideal racist was not arise from ignorance or hatred. They are made to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched discriminatory polycies and the nation's racial inequities.
In shedding light on this history, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking. In the process, he gives us reason to hope.
