Americans like to insist that we are living in a postracial, color-blind society. In fact, racist thought is alive and well; it has simply become more sophisticated and more insidious. And as historian Ibram X. Kendi argues, racist ideas in this country have a long and lingering history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. 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 lives 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. As Kendi provocatively illustrates, racist thinking did not arise from ignorance or hatred. Racist ideas were created and popularized in an effort to defend deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and to rationalize the nation's racial inequities in everything from wealth to health. While racist ideas are easily produced and easily consumed, they can also be discredited--From publisher's website.… (plus d'informations)

A fine book, engagingly written, took a huge amount of research. The title is a little misleading: although racism against native Americans is touched on, the book deals mostly with racism against black folks. I thought the treatment of the period ending with Reconstruction was stronger than the rest of the book, but I enjoyed all of it nonetheless. Was shocked to learn that civil war-era abolitionists did not want to end slavery to allow freed slaves to join society, but rather so that they could be deported to Liberia or the Dominican Republic. Hardly anyone, including Lincoln, thought that blacks could successfully become equal citizens. Was also surprised to learn about the disparaging comments FDR made about blacks as a college student, and how fervently LBJ pursued the Equal Rights Amendment.

I read this book shortly after reading Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. Together they are very much challenging me to re-think how I feel about my country's history. ( )

Excellent book. It takes time to read. It is packed with information that has not been widely shared in our education system. We all, in the US, harbor many racist ideas because racism is everywhere in our culture. There is no escaping it. But one can become aware and strive to overcome one's racism. ( )

I pressed pause on this book on page 256. It's a great book, but I find myself needing a pause on the nonfiction for the moment. Call it pandemic reading syndrome. Hope to get back to it soon. ( )

Such an incredible piece of work, deepening my knowledge in some areas, expanding my awareness in others, and giving me new perspectives on some pre-existing understandings. I highly, highly recommend this book. ( )

Thick with history...but so relevant for today. ( )

On April 12, 1860, (Jefferson) Davis objected to appropriating funds for educating Blacks in Washington, DC. “This Government was not founded by negroes nor for negroes, he said, but “ by white men for white men.” The bill was based on the false assertion of racial equality, he stated. The “inequality of the white and black races” was “stamped from the beginning.”
