But racist thought is not just alive and well in America -- it is more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues, racist ideas have a long and lingering history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. \u003ci\u003eHe\u003c\/i\u003e uses the life stories of five major American intellectuals to drive this history: Puritan minister Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and legendary activist Angela Davis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Kendi shows, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and the nation's racial inequities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In shedding light on this history, \u003ci\u003eStamped from the Beginning \u003c\/i\u003eoffers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking.
