Not being racist is not enough. We have to be antiracist.
*THE GLOBAL MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER - NOW REVISED AND UPDATED*
In HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach to tackling it.
He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it, and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST sparked a new conversation about being antiracist around the world, showing that until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.

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.

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.

Lass uns über Rassismus reden …
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.

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.

Von Amerikas Anfängen bis Barack Obama
Mehr als 150 Jahre nach Abschaffung der Sklaverei in den USA herrscht in vielen Bereichen des Lebens immer noch keine Gleichberechtigung zwischen Schwarz und Weiß. Wo liegen die Wurzeln des Rassismus? Wie kommt es, dass er wie ein Stachel tief in der Seele der USA sitzt? Anschaulich und fundiert erzählen Jason Reynolds und der Historiker Ibram X. Kendi die Geschichte des Rassismus und Antirassismus in Amerika. Sie zeigen, wie rassistisches Denken immer auch als Rechtfertigung für weiße Privilegien eingesetzt wurde, und geben eindrucksvolle Beispiele des Antirassismus. Ein zorniges Buch, manchmal hoffnungsvoll, immer engagiert, fesselnd und unterhaltsam.
