Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, And You

"In this accessible yet strikingly powerful book, children’s book author Jason Reynolds teams up with historian Ibram X. Kendi to adapt Kendi’s award-winning history of racism (by the same name) for a younger audience. The book traces the history of racist ideas and offers readers a path to see how those ideas played out and shaped the America we know today. It won’t feel like a traditional book about history – this one is cool – chapters draw on contemporary experiences and pop culture to help explain and contextualize historical moments, demonstrating that history isn’t just in the past, it’s in our present and future. Oh – and just because they wrote it with kids in mind doesn’t mean it’s not a great read for adults, too!"
