The National Book Award-winning story of how racist ideas were created, disseminated and deeply rooted in American society.

Some Americans insist that we live in a post-racial society. But racist thinking is not only alive and well in America - it is more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as the award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi maintains, racist ideas have a long and persistent history, in which almost all of America's great thinkers are accomplices.

In this deeply studied and rapid account, Kendi recounts the whole history of racist anti-black ideas and their astounding power in American history. He uses the life stories of five great American intellectuals to drive this story: Puritan Minister Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois and the legendary activist Angela Davis.

As Kendi shows, racist ideas were not born out of ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deep-rooted discriminatory policies and the nation's racial inequalities.

To shed light on this story, Stamped from the Beginning gives us the tools we need to expose racist thinking. In doing so, it gives us reason to hope.
