Actually, racist thought is alive and well in America - more complex and more insidious than ever. As award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues in Stamped from the Starting, if we have any wish of grappling with this stark actuality, we must first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American contemporary society. In such a deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the whole storyline of anti-Black racist ideas and their staggering power during the period of American record. Stamped from the Starting uses the life span reports of five major American intellectuals to give you a window into the contentious debates between assimilationists and segregationists and between racists and antiracists.
