In this important and compelling young readers adaptation of his National Book Award-winning title, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, writing with award-winning author Jason Reynolds, chronicles the story of anti-black, racist ideas over the course of American history.

Racist ideas in our country did not arise from ignorance or hatred. Instead, they were developed by some of the most brilliant minds in history to justify and rationalise the nation's deeply entrenched discriminatory policies. But while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited. In shedding light on the history of racist ideas in America, this adaptation offers young readers the tools they need to combat these ideas - and, in the process, gives society a reason to hope.

Through a gripping and fast-paced narrative that speaks to young readers on their level, this book shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas - and on ways anti-racists can be empowered to combat racism in their daily lives.

Product description

Review

"the must-read book of the moment...potent and provocative"----San Francisco Chronicle

"Reynolds's engaging, clear prose shines a light on difficult and confusing subjects....This is no easy feat."--The New York Times Book Review

* "An epic feat... More than merely a young reader's adaptation of Kendi's landmark work, Stamped does a remarkable job of tying together disparate threads while briskly moving through its historical narrative."--Bookpage, starred review

* "Reynolds (Look Both Ways) lends his signature flair to remixing Kendi's award-winning Stamped from the Beginning...Told impressively economically, loaded with historical details that connect clearly to current experiences, and bolstered with suggested reading and listening selected specifically for young readers, Kendi and Reynolds's volume is essential, meaningfully accessible reading."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

Praise for Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You:

"An amazingly timely and stunningly accessible manifesto for young people....At times funny, at times somber but always packed with relevant information that is at once thoughtful and spot-on, Stamped is the book I wish I had as a young person and am so grateful my own children have now."
--Jacqueline Woodson, bestselling and National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming

* "Eye-opening...this engaging overview offers readers lots to think about and should spark important conversations about this timely topic."--School Library Connection, starred review

* "Readers who want to truly understand how deeply embedded racism is in the very fabric of the U.S., its history, and its systems will come away educated and enlightened. Worthy of inclusion in every home and in curricula and libraries everywhere. Impressive and much needed."
--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Required reading for everyone, especially those invested in the future of young people in America."--Booklist, starred review

* "Reynolds and Kendi eloquently challenge the common narrative attached to U.S. history. This adaptation, like the 2016 adult title, will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. Highly recommended for libraries serving middle and high school students."--School Library Journal, starred review

"If knowledge is power, this book will make you more powerful than you've ever been before."--Ibi Zoboi, author of the National Book Award finalist American Street

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Having read Kendi's "Stamped From the Beginning" and greatly enjoyed it, I was intrigued to see this 'remix' available, and wondered about it enough to decide to have a look. It did not take long to realize that this is not something that adds to or supplements Kendi's original work; rather, it is a reworking, clearly designed to be more 'readable': shorter, more engaging, covering the key points in considerably less detail. The author writes in a 'speaking to the reader' style. I realized that this was meant to get the same message across to people who did not want to read a 600-page history book (this book is a 250-page book with plenty of white space). From the back cover: "Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative that speaks to young people as only Jason Reynolds can..." I was like, ah, there it is : "speaks to young people." That's the audience this book is for. So, I would say that if you have the time and attention span to read a well-researched and thorough account of racist ideas throughout American history, read Stamped From the Beginning. If you don't want to devote the time to that but want to get the main ideas, by all means go ahead and read this book.

Read for yourself and then get it into the hands of students

Reynolds's writing is superb. Kendi's thinking transforms your world. The book grabs you and holds on to the end.

Together, the two make the case that the “construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, whether financially or politically” (p. 245). They begin with a story about the “world’s first racist,” Gomes Eanes de Zurara’s popular 1415 biography of the Portuguese Prince Henry framed the enslavement of Africans as an opportunity to engage in missionary work, to save souls. He positioned the Africans as lesser and the story goes on from there. Kendi believes that people fall into three categories regarding thoughts, beliefs on race—the racist (“the real haters”), the assimilationists (“people who like you (Black people), but only with quotation marks”—because you’re “like” them), and the antiracists (“they love you because you’re like you”). It seems that rarely do we fit into one category. Instead, “over the course of a lifetime and (even over the course of a day), people can take on and act out ideas represented by more than one of these three identities. Can be both, and” (p. 3-4). Reynolds and Kendi tell story after story about how the “racial constructs” of these three groups, over time have influenced how people think. In less than 250 pages, the book covers six hundred years of history, with story after story of how this happened.

DON'T SKIP REYNOLDS' ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AT THE END - it's a call to action. He writes to his audience -
"But I have to warn you:
Scrolling will never be enough.
Reposting will never be enough.
Hashtagging will never be enough.
Because hatred has a way of convincing us that half love is whole. What I mean by that is we--all of us--have to fight against performance and lean in to participation." p. 253

There's so much I didn't know about how my life and thinking as a white woman born and living in the United States have been shaped by the racist beliefs, policies and stories told by others. Yes, I knew some of it, but this book revealed once again and ever more powerfully the troubling depth of this issue.

Highly recommend for high school and college classrooms--the teachers and the students.

Vile propaganda designed to brainwash youth

5 June 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

This text is engineered to divide people into categories, using extreme binary "with us or against us" thinking. Protect your children from high schools that are assigning this to 9th graders as *mandatory* reading. The logic of this book is to leverage compassion and guilt in order to create young shock troops for the upcoming revolution. This is the kind of book that makes Charles Manson look prophetic. You reap what you sow. My advice: Buy this book because in 5 years our children will be taking this as gospel. Arm yourself against this dangerous nonsense, and teach your children to read this, and read it critically.

"This is not a history book..."

I had the privilege and honor to preview Jason Reynold's newest book, Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning about a month ago. It was mind-blowing and life-changing. It was uncomfortable for my privileged white self but eye-opening beyond words. I found myself re-reading and rewinding to hear the message again. I am grateful for the partnership of these two men to create this book for young people. Just because it is labeled as a "kids book" doesn't mean it is just for kids. The way it is written made it so much more accessible to me, and the audio is one of the best I've ever listened to. Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning needs to be read by all of us, and as Jason says... "Don't just read this book...get out and do something." Thank you Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, Libro.fm, and Edelweiss by Above the Treeline for the Educator ARCs.

No solutions?

Racism is one of the evil sides of humanity. I do not believe it is as simple as it is portrayed in this book. It is complex with numerous roots. It will never be eradicated. I have found even the kindest, most loving individuals display some racist tendencies. Racism lives in all of us regardless of skin color. Humanity finds anyone who is different to be dangerous, distrustful, well, simply different and therefore suspicious. Most of us try to look beyond this suspicion and accept others based on their actions. Unfortunately, too many do not, can not, or are unwilling to do so. Personal gain seems to be a major reason for this unwillingness.
The book gave great background on racism. It, however, posed no solutions.
