Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling, "must-read" (San Francisco Chronicle), "amazingly timely and stunningly accessible" (Jacqueline Woodson) exploration of race and racism from award-winning, beloved authors Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi, now in paperback.
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 remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It 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 written by beloved award-winner Jason Reynolds, this book 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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We were already huge fans of Jason Reynolds and his fun, honest, socially conscious books for young people, but this brilliant joint project with historian Ibram X. Kendi put us over the top. Kendi’s book Stamped from the Beginning—which received the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2016—traced the history of racist and antiracist ideas in the United States, from colonialism to the doublespeak of the Reagan era to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Reynolds remixes the material for young adults, making it accessible to a larger audience. Without ever watering down Kendi’s analysis of the intellectual underpinnings of racism, Reynolds uses wit and his goofy, reassuring voice to examine our past in order to understand the present. This fast-paced, devourable book shows how insidious racist ideas can be—and how labeling them can help us purposefully choose to be antiracists.

I quote Pops from Secret life of Pets:
“it’s poo poo with a dash of ca ca.”
I think Fintan burned the book and Shelob ate the ashes.
