Summary
The number one New York Times best seller and a USA Today best seller!
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.
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 listeners can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.
Critic reviews
An "engrossing and relentless intellectual history of prejudice in America...The greatest service Kendi [provides] is the ruthless prosecution of American ideas about race for their tensions, contradictions and unintended consequences." (Washington Post)

A must listen/read
This is a must read/ listen for all people! It makes a topic that can seem tough to wade through or to start learning about accessible to all.
It does require listening carefully and at time rewinding to listen again but it is well worth the time.
It feel more like a conversation than a lecture.
Please please listen to the very end of the acknowledgements. I often don’t listen all the way to the end of the acknowledgements but in this case please do.

Stamped
An essential read for anyone interested in the subject matter. This book gives a frank but brief history of racism and anti-racism. While it is brief like I mentioned it gives you enough info to be an important book to all but doesn't bore you if you're not into history. This isn't a criticism it's a compliment. Because to deliver so much info in such an interesting and fun way it makes it accessible to all who is interested in learning about the true history of colonialism, capitalism, and racism in America.

Wow
I’ve listened to several books on ‘real’ Black lived history and on antiracism in recent years. This one is drop-the-mic amazing. Compellingly narrated, like modern poetry, Jason Reynolds talks to you like you’re sitting across the table from him. Incredibly impactful and brings newer stories and reflections to the table.

History from an often overlooked point of view
There is a very good reason why this book has received enormous praise, and that is because it is simply brilliant.
As someone who enjoys history and has studied many of the areas of which this book covers, it was very insightful and humbling to be taught it again for this perspective. The origins of modern racism towards black people in America are disappointingly hollow their motivations, and it's truly saddening that those initial lies can be attributed too centuries of suffering and pain.
I would highly recommend this audiobook, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these much needed thoughts and perspectives. A truly invaluable education.
