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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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. He 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Kendi shows, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched racist policies and the nation's racial inequities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn shedding light on this history, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking. In the process, he gives us reason to hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47346634490091,"sku":"9781645030393","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2652\/3794\/files\/9781645030393_1ea6dddf-d6ec-4082-afd9-81a87338aea6.jpg?v=1768591699","url":"https:\/\/www.maggiemaesbooks.com\/products\/stamped-from-the-beginning-the-definitive-history-of-racist-ideas-in-america-ibram-x-kendi-1","provider":"Maggie Mae's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
