In Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, an “engrossing and relentless intellectual history of prejudice in America” (Washington Post), the historian and 2016 National Book Award winner Ibram X. Kendi traces the arc of antiblack racist ideas from 15th-century Portugal to the founding of the United States, arguing that we must confront the history of racist ideas in order to grapple with racism’s insidious hold on America.
