ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Stamped from the Beginning” by Ibram X. Kendi explores the history and evolution of racist ideas in America, tracing their roots from ancient times to the present. Kendi argues that racism is driven by self-interest rather than ignorance, examining how segregationist, assimilationist, and antiracist ideologies have shaped American society. The book delves into key historical moments, such as slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, and the rise of modern racial issues, offering a powerful critique of systemic racism. Through historical analysis and personal reflection, Kendi emphasizes the ongoing struggle for racial equality and justice in contemporary society.
