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.

read for psychology and the african american experience class
i loved how this book went through a lot of the history and things we learned in school and reframed them to be correct and how it also fits the history into the present. it's a great way to talk about racism and introduce people to the topic of being anti-racism.
Reynolds needs to write more non-fiction. It would improve the world immeasurably.
The best book I've read in a long time. This is the (not) History book that should be in classrooms, not the white-washed bullshit we have currently. Also unlike the history books in classrooms, i was engrossed and it held my attention, i didn't want to put it down. Highly recommend
