NOT BEING RACIST IS NOT ENOUGH. WE HAVE TO BE ANTIRACIST.
'Transformative and revolutionary' ROBIN DIANGELO, author of White Fragility
'So vital' IJEOMA OLUO, author of So You Want to Talk About Race
In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars of racism, shows that neutrality is not an option: until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racism whether they realise it or not, and by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism, he shows us how instead to be a force for good. Along the way, Kendi punctures all the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality.
In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racism - what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.

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 readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.

A KIRKUS BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2016, BEST BOOK OF 2016 TO EXPLAIN CURRENT POLITICS & BEST HEARTRENDING NONFICTION BOOK of 2016
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. Stamped from the Beginning uses the life stories of five major American intellectuals to offer a window into the contentious debates between assimilationists and segregationists and between racists and antiracists. From Puritan minister Cotton Mather to Thomas Jefferson, from fiery abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison to brilliant scholar W.E.B. Du Bois to legendary anti-prison activist Angela Davis, Kendi shows how and why some of our leading proslavery and pro-civil rights thinkers have challenged or helped cement racist ideas in America.
Contrary to popular conceptions, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. Instead, they were devised and honed by some of the most brilliant minds of each era. These intellectuals used their brilliance to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and the nation's racial disparities in everything from wealth to health. And while racist ideas are easily produced and easily consumed, they can also be discredited. In shedding much-needed light on the murky history of racist ideas, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose them--and in the process, gives us reason to hope.

Jede rassistische Beleidigung schlägt eine Wunde – das wissen schon Kinder. Je mehr wir über Rassismus wissen, desto besser können wir ihn bekämpfen. Und genau das will dieses Buch. Es ist kein Geschichtsbuch. Selbst wenn es auch von der Vergangenheit handelt, will es das Hier und Heute verändern. Es nimmt junge Leser mit auf eine Reise, zeigt ihnen auf kindgerechte Weise, wo der Ursprung rassistischer Ideen liegt und welche Wirkung sie hatten und bis heute haben. Antirassisten wie Martin Luther King und Angela Davis kommen zu Wort. Sie schärfen den Blick dafür, was Rassismus bedeutet. Denn er betrifft uns alle. Überall. Sich früh mit Rassismus auseinanderzusetzen, heißt: Dinge verändern zu können.
The author of the bestselling international phenomenon How to Be an Antiracist offers a deeply considered and ground-breaking argument about children, racism and how to build the antiracist society of the future.
How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better?
These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research into the scientific literature, his experiences as a father and reflections on his own difficult experiences as a student ultimately changed his mind. In How to Raise an Antiracist he shows that we must all participate in the effort to raise young people as antiracists.

EL MEJOR LIBRO PARA ENTENDER CÓMO SE INSTITUCIONALIZA EL RACISMO.
GANADOR DEL NATIONAL BOOK AWARD DE NO FICCIÓN EN 2016
Tras la elección de Barack Obama, muchos declararon el inicio de una era postracial. Sin embargo, el pensamiento racista, más sofisticado e insidioso que nunca, sigue profundamente arraigado en la sociedad estadounidense. Tal y como argumenta Ibram X. Kendi-la voz más influyente de la lucha antirracista y uno de los referentes actuales del movimiento #BlackLivesMatter-,aunque las ideas racistas se desarrollan, difunden y consagran muy fácilmente, también se las puede desacreditar. Y esto es lo que se propone con Marcados al nacer, una obra maestra galardonada con el National Book Award que derriba la idea, muy asentada, de que el racismo es consecuencia directa de la ignorancia o el odio.
En esta investigación histórica profundamente documentada, Kendi nos demuestra cómo en Estados Unidos las mentes más brillantes de diferentes épocas se han esforzado en crear y perpetuar instituciones racistas y un sistema basado en políticas discriminatorias, para luego generar ideas y actitudes racistas que justifiquen ex post facto la esclavitud y la segregación. Al hablar sin tapujos del racismo y de su turbia historia, este libro nos dota de las herramientas necesarias para desenmascararlo, y se convierte en una lectura indispensable en los tiempos que corren.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Dado el momento político que atravesamos, este libro debería estar en la estantería de todos los jóvenes que aspiran a cambiar el mundo. No es una lectura agradable, pero la verdad no siempre lo es.»
Forbes
«Absorbente e implacable.»
The Washington Post
«Una crónica profunda y a menudo inquietante.»

Una exploración oportuna y crucial del racismo y el antirracismo en Estados Unidos
Este NO es un libro de historia.
Este es un libro sobre el aquí y el ahora.
Un libro que nos ayudará a comprender mejor por qué estamos donde estamos.
Un libro sobre la raza.
El concepto de raza siempre se ha utilizado para ganar y mantener el poder, para crear dinámicas que separan y silencian. Esta notable adaptación del libro Stamped from the Beginning, del Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, ganador del National Book Award, revela la historia de las ideas racistas en Estados Unidos y nos inspira a construir un futuro antirracista. A través de un recorrido histórico que va del pasado al presente, este libro nos muestra la raíz de nuestras ideas respecto a los grupos raciales y por qué persiste el veneno del racismo. Además, demuestra que, si bien las ideas racistas siempre han sido fáciles de fabricar y distribuir, también pueden desacreditarse.
Con la prosa apasionante y enérgica que lo caracteriza, el multipremiado autor Jason Reynolds no aclara en esta adaptación muchas de las distintas formas en que se presentan las ideas racistas y nos ofrece herramientas que nos permiten identificarlas y eliminarlas en nuestra vida diaria.

Con más de un millón de copias vendidas en EEUU, Ibram X. Kendi nos ofrece en Cómo ser antirracista las claves del antirracismo —desde los conceptos más básicos hasta los casos menos evidentes—, que nos ayudarán a ver con claridad todas las formas de racismo, a comprender sus consecuencias tóxicas y a trabajar para oponerse a ellos de manera personal y colectiva.
Ibram X. Kendi nos ofrece las claves del antirracismo —¿Somos racistas? ¿O actuamos de forma racista o antirracista?— añadiendo el género, la clase, la orientación sexual ... y también las diferentes intersecciones entre ellas que fortalecen la opresión y la violencia que reciben estos colectivos. Entendiendo el racismo como estructural y sistémico, Kendi apela a la responsabilidad individual y a la lucha colectiva contra el sistema que legitima y practica el racismo en nuestra sociedad.
