Description

Stamped from the Beginning: A redefined history of anti-Black racist ideas in America reveals how racist thinking evolved over time, challenging our understanding of its causes and extent. This deeply researched narrative explores the development of racist ideas through the lives of five major intellectuals, from 15th-century Europe to present-day America.

Contrary to popular perception, racist ideas were not born from ignorance or hatred, but were devised and honed by some of the most brilliant minds of each era, including anti-slavery and pro-civil rights advocates. By examining the lives of these individuals, Stamped from the Beginning shows how racist ideas were rationalized and justified, ultimately leading to inequalities that persist to this day.

This book offers a compelling new perspective on racism and its impact on American society, forcing us to reconsider our assumptions about ourselves and our place in the world. By understanding the true origins of racist ideas, we can build a stronger foundation for change and work towards a more equitable future.
