A timely, crucial, and empowering exploration of racism--and antiracism--in America.
This is NOT a history book. This is a book about the here and now. A book to help us better understand why we are where we are. A book about race.
The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This is a remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning, winner of a National Book Award. It reveals the history of racist ideas in America and inspires hope for an antiracist future.
Stamped takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited.
Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative, Jason Reynolds shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas--and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.

Historical analysis of American racial policy and discrimination reached a major turning point with the publication of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, an exhaustive study tracing anti-Black thought from fifteenth-century Europe to modern society. Author Ibram X. Kendi became the youngest recipient of the National Book Award for Nonfiction for this landmark volume, which reexamined how discriminatory ideas are constructed to justify racist policies.
Born Ibram Henry Rogers in 1982, Kendi pursued a career in higher education and public scholarship, eventually serving as the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University and founding director of the BU Center for Antiracist Research. He later joined Howard University as the Carter G. Woodson Endowed Chair in History and inaugural director of the Howard University Institute for Advanced Study. Beyond his academic leadership, Kendi has served as a contributing writer for The Atlantic and a racial justice contributor for CBS News, writing across multiple genres for adults, young adults, and children.
Kendi's scholarship centers on the historical interplay between racist power, policy, and ideas. A foundational premise throughout his work is that self-interested political and economic policies generate racist ideas to rationalize inequality, rather than racist attitudes spontaneously driving policy creation. In adaptations aimed at younger audiences, such as Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You and Stamped (For Kids): Racism, Antiracism, and You, Kendi utilizes accessible definitions, direct conversational engagement, and swift narrative pacing to help readers identify and challenge structural racism in historical and contemporary settings.
