ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi, traces the history of racist ideas in America. The book explores how these ideas originated and evolved, shaping American society from the 15th century to the present. Examining the lives and thoughts of five historical figures, the book identifies three types of ideas about race: segregationist, assimilationist, and antiracist, illustrating the ongoing struggle between them. The story challenges readers to recognize and confront the deep-seated racism that persists in modern American institutions, encouraging them to promote a more equitable and just society.
