Stamped

A remix of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning for ages 12 and up.

The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. 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.

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.
