A ground-breaking argument about children, racism and how to build
the antiracist society of the future - from the author of the
million-copy global bestseller How To Be an Antiracist *A NEW YORK
TIMES BESTSELLER* 'One of the pre-eminent intellectuals on race'
OWEN JONES How do kids think about race? How are they affected by
it? At what age should we talk to them about racism? What is the
best way to do that? How can we raise our children to be
antiracist? In this inspiring and deeply personal investigation,
Ibram X. Kendi explains how to safeguard our children from racism
and how we can all participate in fostering a new generation of
antiracists. His essential and revolutionary insight is that our
instinct to protect our children from racism by not talking about
it is entirely wrong. Using the science of childhood development,
illustrated with his own experiences as a father, he shows that
only by teaching our children about the realities of racism from
the youngest age can we truly protect them and build the antiracist
society of the future. --- Praise for How To Be an Antiracist: 'One

'The most courageous book to date on the problem of race' New York
Times *THE GLOBAL MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER - NOW REVISED AND
UPDATED* In HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST Ibram X. Kendi, one of the
world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of
a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud
our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach
to tackling it. He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in
maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it,
and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST sparked a new
conversation about being antiracist around the world, showing that
until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the
problem. 'Transformative and revolutionary' ROBIN DIANGELO, author

Some Americans cling desperately to the myth that we are living in
a post-racial society, that the election of the first black
president spelled the doom of racism. In fact, racist thought is
alive and well in America--more sophisticated and more insidious
than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues in
Stamped from the Beginning, if we have any hope of
grappling with this stark reality, we must first understand how
racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in
American society. 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. Stamped from the Beginning uses the life stories
of five major American intellectuals to offer a window into the
contentious debates between assimilationists and segregationists
and between racists and antiracists. From Puritan minister Cotton
Mather to Thomas Jefferson, from fiery abolitionist William Lloyd
Garrison to brilliant scholar W.E.B. Du Bois to legendary
anti-prison activist Angela Davis, Kendi shows how and why some of
our leading pro-slavery and pro-civil rights thinkers have
challenged or helped cement racist ideas in America. Contrary to
popular conceptions, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or
hatred. Instead, they were devised and honed by some of the most
brilliant minds of each era. These intellectuals used their
brilliance to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched
discriminatory policies and the nation's racial disparities in
everything from wealth to health. And while racist ideas are easily
produced and easily consumed, they can also be discredited. In
shedding much-needed light on the murky history of racist ideas,
Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to
expose them--and in the process, gives us reason to hope.
**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** How do we talk to our children about
racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at
different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures
impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our
mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the
questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated
the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be,
he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he
feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But
research into the scientific literature, his experiences as a
father and reflections on his own difficult experiences as a
student ultimately changed his mind. In How to Raise an Antiracist
he shows that we must all participate in the effort to raise young
people as antiracists. Praise for Ibram X. Kendi: 'One of the

Between 1965 and 1972, African American students at upwards of a
thousand historically black and white American colleges and
universities organized, demanded, and protested for Black Studies,
Black universities, new faces, new ideas--a relevant, diverse
higher education. Black power inspired these black students, who
were supported by white, Latino, Chicana, Asian American, and
Native American students.The Black Campus Movement provides the
first national study of this intense and challenging struggle which
disrupted and refashioned institutions in almost every state. This
book also illuminates the complex context for one of the most
transformative educational movements in American history through a
history of black higher education and black student activism before
1965.
