This terms book is Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning
Don’t miss this “fresh and conversational” (TIME Magazine), “potent and provocative” (The San Francisco Chronicle), #1 New York Times bestselling 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. Racist ideas are woven into the fabric of this country, and the first step to building an antiracist America is acknowledging America’s racist past and present. This book takes you on that journey, showing how racist ideas started and were spread, and how they can be discredited.
Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative written by beloved award-winner Jason Reynolds with research from renowned author Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas—and on ways you can identify and stamp out racist thoughts, leading to a better future.
